Measure A2 projects continue across NVUSD campuses; oversight committee reports compliance
Summary
Board received the Measure A2 Citizens Bond Oversight Committee annual report affirming compliance and heard a facilities update describing nine active projects, helicopter lifts for HVAC, site-specific challenges at Redwood and Stonebridge, and $15.3 million encumbered of a $25.5 million authorization as of June 30, 2025.
The Napa Valley Unified School District board heard an annual oversight report on Measure A2 and a detailed facilities update describing active construction across the district during its regular meeting.
Anne Ederainada, chair of the Measure A2 Citizens Bond Oversight Committee, told the board the committee has reviewed district expenditure reports and, "to the best of its knowledge, the Napa Valley Unified School District is in compliance" with Article 13A requirements and that bond proceeds have been spent only for ballot-specified purposes. Ederainada noted two bond sales (August 2023 and May 2025) and said the bond authorization totaled $25.5 million with $15.3 million encumbered as of June 30, 2025.
Assistant Superintendent Rob Manguala provided a facilities and bond program update, saying there are nine general contractors working on nine active projects across 17 campuses. He described construction milestones visible around the community and explained that, for some HVAC work, a helicopter was used to remove units when crane access was less cost-effective. Manguala also highlighted quality-control steps such as mock-ups and flagged site-specific challenges: Redwood required extensive work due to its original construction (old-growth Douglas fir framing), while Stonebridge encountered dry rot and previous termite damage that will require change orders charged to contingency funds.
Why it matters: Measure A2 funds support capital improvements across NVUSD campuses. The oversight committee's compliance statement and project-level updates provide accountability for how bond proceeds are spent; disclosure of change orders and contingency use signals potential budgetary adjustments.
What’s next: The CBOC report and project details were posted on the district website; staff will continue to provide progress reports and management of change orders as projects proceed toward completion.
