Bond Measures J and R
On behalf of Union School District's Board of Education, students, and staff, we would like to express our appreciation to the USD Community for supporting school Bond Measures J & R. The funds are used to make the necessary upgrades and improvements to our schools. Your tax dollars help with critical facilities and technology projects for our children, ensuring we provide safe and effective learning environments. We are incredibly grateful for our community's continued commitment to education.
Measure B parcel tax was passed on November 3, 2015 which is the continuation of the Measure H parcel tax and provides funding for our local schools. Measure B was passed by 74.77%. This special tax money is used directly by the Union School District to support high academic achievement for Union Elementary School District students by protecting strong academic programs like English, reading, writing, math and science; retaining qualified teachers; keeping schools safe; expanding rigorous science, technology, engineering and math programs district-wide and helping maintain smaller class sizes.
The Measure V parcel tax was passed by the Union School District community on November 5, 2024 with 70.54% of the vote. Measure V renewed Measure B with a $52 increase, for a total of $148 per/parcel, for seven years. Measure V funding will be used to support students in grades TK-8 by maintaining high-quality educational programs, including math, reading, and writing, and hands-on science instruction, technology and engineering; attract and retain highly qualified teachers and instructional support staff; provide high-quality programs in music, visual, and performing arts and more for a well-rounded education.
Independent oversight and annual financial audits of revenues and expenditures help to ensure accountability and that all funds are used to support education with no funds used for administrators’ salaries.
