Upgrade Oak Grove Schools Without Increasing Taxes
Quality schools improve neighborhood safety and the value of our homes. With seventeen of our schools having earned the prestigious California Distinguished School Award, Oak Grove School District is one of the top performing districts in the County.
While most schools are now over 50 years old, the District has effectively used prior voter-approved measures to repair and upgrade buildings to keep them safe and functioning. However, our classrooms, science labs, and other learning spaces have not kept pace with advances in learning and technology and must now be improved.
Measure P makes investments in modernizing and upgrading all classrooms, science and computer labs, and other learning spaces so our students get the world-class education they deserve. Measure P also provides equity across all schools, and improves student safety and security districtwide.
Because our residents struggle with rising costs, the District designed Measure P to NOT increase the tax rates for its bonds above current rates.
Funding from Measure P will:
Modernize classrooms and improve student and teacher access to computers and modern technology to prepare students for high school, college, and careers
Improve student safety through classroom and school security enhancements including improved lighting, fencing, and controlled access to classrooms and school sites
Upgrade science labs and construct learning spaces to support science, technology, engineering, math, robotics, arts and music education
Provide facilities to support and enhance education programs
Taxpayer Safeguards are in Place and Require:
-
A citizens’ oversight committee to protect taxpayer funds
-
Annual independent audits on all Measure P expenditures
-
No money for administrator salaries
