Pittsburg Unified School District (PUSD) strives to provide a quality education for more than 10,700 local students in preschool through high school and adult education that prepares them for life beyond the classroom.

Aging and Outdated Classrooms Need Repairs
While some schools are newer, other classrooms are 45 to 90 years old and need repairs and upgrades. For example, many students attend classes in old portable classrooms that are past their useful age and need to be replaced with permanent classrooms. Some classrooms and science labs are outdated and need upgrades to meet today’s standards for science, technology, engineering, math, and job and career readiness programs. Other schools have leaky roofs and deteriorating heating, cooling, electrical, and plumbing systems.

 

To continue to keep students safe, fencing, alarms, modern door locks, and security systems need to be upgraded and maintained. With student enrollment growing and schools reaching capacity, new classrooms are needed to prevent overcrowding.

 

A school improvement bond measure provides locally controlled funding to repair and upgrade local schools so all students attend classes in safe and modern schools.

 

 

Funds from a school facilities improvement bond measure cannot be taken away by the State. An Independent Oversight Committee and annual audits ensure funds are spent properly. A bond measure will also help our local schools qualify for state matching funds that will otherwise go to schools in other communities.
