PAUSD board unanimously authorizes final Measure Z bond series to fund promised projects
Summary
The Palo Alto Unified School District board on Aug. 19 approved Resolution No. 2025‑26.01, authorizing the district’s final Measure Z general-obligation bond series (2025). Trustees voted unanimously; officials said repayment will come from the voter-approved property tax levy and will not affect the general fund.
The Palo Alto Unified School District Board of Education on Aug. 19 unanimously approved Resolution No. 2025‑26.01 authorizing the issuance of the district’s final series of Measure Z general-obligation bonds.
Staff said the authorization would permit issuance of the third and final authorized series of bonds from Measure Z, which voters approved in 2018, and that bond repayment will be made through the previously voter‑approved property tax levy rather than the district’s general fund. A staff presenter summarized that two prior series had already been issued and that this action continues financing for projects promised to voters.
Trustee Camhi moved the resolution and Trustee Chiu seconded. The motion passed with unanimous student preferential and board votes recorded on the Aug. 19 roll call. No public comments were offered during the resolution discussion.
Why it matters: The action unlocks voter-authorized capital funding for facilities and projects previously approved under Measure Z. Staff characterized the issuance as having no general‑fund impact because repayment is through the voter‑approved property tax levy.
