Glendora Unified board votes to place $86 million bond extension on Nov. 3 ballot
Summary
The Glendora Unified School District Board of Education adopted Resolution 2627-01 to place an $86 million bond extension on the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot, extending the district's existing $33-per-$100,000 tax rate rather than raising it; the board voted to file the resolution by the Aug. 7 county deadline.
The Glendora Unified School District Board of Education voted to place an $86 million bond extension on the November 2026 ballot after a presentation on community polling and a period of public comment.
Consultant Charles Heath summarized recent tracking research for the board, saying, “What we found here is that 60% of people said that they would vote yes,” and that clarifying the measure’s purpose increased support. The resolution presented to trustees — Res. 2627-01 — would extend the district's current tax rate of $33 per $100,000 of assessed value rather than increase the tax rate, and would be filed with the Los Angeles County Registrar by Aug. 7 to qualify for the Nov. 3 election.
Board members discussed the district's facility needs, prior assessments, and oversight. Trustee Garcia cited a 2016 facilities assessment estimating $196 million in needs and a more recent prioritized list amounting to roughly $80 million, saying the $86 million ask addresses top priorities. Chair Clifford summarized the board’s role ahead of the vote: “this is not a vote to approve anything other than teeing this up for the people that we represent,” emphasizing that the ballot will let voters decide.
The motion to adopt the resolution passed on a voice vote. Staff said the resolution package includes appendices describing project lists and a tax-rate statement that will appear in the sample ballot and that any advocacy after the board’s informational action must come from independent citizen groups.
