District previews draft bond resolution and invites public input ahead of possible November election
Summary
Superintendent and staff presented a draft bond resolution to modernize campuses and fund ongoing facilities needs, urging public feedback over March–June and indicating the board could consider an election later this year; trustees requested clerical cleanups and public outreach before finalizing language.
Superintendent Ochoa and district staff presented a draft bond resolution outlining proposed projects to modernize classrooms, replace leaky roofs, upgrade athletic and common spaces, and add infrastructure such as solar and EV charging at some sites. The board was presented with an initial draft and timeline; staff recommended public engagement and refinements at March and April meetings before the board considers formally ordering an election.
Trustees reviewed the draft's scope and raised several editorial and formatting questions about the project list and certification pages. Trustee comments urged clarity in the project descriptions (for example, avoiding duplicate line items and clarifying whether solar is included for specific parking-lot work). Board members also emphasized the importance of showing voters completed projects (e.g., Parkside) as evidence of impact when seeking support for a new measure.
Next steps: staff will refine the resolution language, correct clerical inconsistencies, and bring a revised draft back to the board for further review and public discussion. A community outreach process and public materials were discussed as part of the March–June engagement window.
