Measure P - 2024

Measure P is San Juan Unified’s Classroom Repair Measure that will appear on the November 2024 ballot.

Many local schools are more than 70 years old and in need of significant repairs. A recent report showed that we have as much as $3.5 billion in need. Measure P could provide funding to: keep classrooms safe and clean, fix deteriorating classrooms and leaky roofs, fix water pipes, plumbing, bathrooms, and electrical wiring, provide safe drinking water, and replace outdated security and fire safety systems.

Schools built before 1980, like the majority of San Juan schools, may contain harmful asbestos.

Measure P could improve student safety by removing toxic lead and asbestos from our schools.

Quality classrooms and good teachers are essential to student learning. By improving classrooms and teaching environments, Measure P could help San Juan Unified remain competitive during a teacher shortage so that it can continue to attract and retain the quality teachers our students deserve.

• Measure P could upgrade vocational and career education classrooms
• Measure P could upgrade math and science labs
• Measure P could help give students access to a well-rounded education, which includes music, visual and performing arts facilities
   

Measure P is subject to strict accountability requirements, including independent annual financial audits, review of all spending by a citizens' oversight committee, and no funding for administrators' salaries or pensions. In addition, all funds must improve neighborhood San Juan Unified facilities.

Measure P authorizes $950 million in bonds, with annual tax rates of approximately 6¢ per $100 of assessed value while bonds are outstanding.
