Santa Rita Union School District

Measure R

Since the passage of Measure R, the Santa Rita Union School District (SRUSD) has secured $24.9 million in bond funding to modernize and repair its schools. This funding will be used to upgrade classrooms, fix deteriorating infrastructure, and enhance safety measures at the district's elementary and middle schools. Projects include replacing outdated roofs, restrooms, electrical systems, and HVAC units, as well as improving student safety through better fencing, lighting, cameras, and parking areas.

Measure R also allows SRUSD to access $12 million in state matching funds, further boosting its ability to renovate facilities and create modern science and instructional labs to support student achievement. The bond will be repaid through local property taxes, with an estimated rate of $30 per $100,000 of assessed property value.

Accountability measures are in place, including a citizens' oversight committee and regular independent audits to ensure that the funds are spent only on approved projects. With Measure R in effect, SRUSD can begin addressing the district's most urgent facility needs, modernizing schools, and improving learning environments for its students.
