Bond Oversight-Facilities Committee

 

The voters within the boundaries of the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District passed Measure T in November 2006.  The measure authorizes the district to issue bonds for $20 million for new facility and modernization projects for grades 9 – 12.  It is law that the bond proceeds only be used for voter-approved facilities established in the Measure.  In addition, there is a requirement to maintain accountability requirements by the formation of a Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee.  The committee’s duties include informing the public, reviewing expenditures, reviewing proposed projects and presenting an annual report to the School Board of Trustees.

A strategic expenditure program has been developed and adopted.  The plan divides projects into two phases: 

Phase 1
New roofing for Paso Robles High School
New heating, ventilation, and air conditioning for Paso Robles High School
Refurbishing of the tennis courts
20 additional classrooms to replace deteriorating portables
Agriculture Academy (6 classrooms and labs)
Additional science lab in building 300
Extension of Liberty High School for Independent Study
Practice gym and physical education facilities

Phase 2
Modernization of Paso Robles High School classrooms and facilities over 25 years of age
Remodeling of current classroom and facilities for three technical education programs:

Information Technology
Construction technology
Visual and Performing Arts
Conversion of the Activity Center into a 400‑500 seat theater

Through grants written by the district staff and successful matching fund applications to the State of California, the original $20 million approved by the voters could generate an additional $20 million in new facilities and improvements for the students of Paso Robles. However, given the State’s fiscal condition, projects may not be funded as quickly as originally thought.

The new main building at Flamson Middle School and other school projects, that do not have students in grades 9 ‑12, are not part of Measure T or the Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee’s responsibility.
