The Castro Valley Unified School District is committed to providing all students in each of our 15 schools with a high-quality education that equips them for success in today’s workforce. To ensure that our facilities meet current and future needs, the District has embarked on a comprehensive Facilities Master Planning (FMP) process that includes strong community engagement to identify and address specific facility needs at each of our schools. On February 25, 2016, the CVUSD Board of Education approved the Facilities Master Plan, which details the necessary improvements across our sites. This plan can be viewed in its entirety online. After evaluating available funding, it was determined that an additional $123 million would be required to fulfill the outlined needs, which included enhancements in health and safety, heating and air conditioning, lighting, roofing, fields, playgrounds, classrooms, multipurpose rooms, and increased access for the community. In response, the District put forth Bond Measure G, a General Obligation Bond passed by Castro Valley voters on June 7, 2016. This bond is valued at $123 million and directly funds these critical improvements. To maintain transparency and accountability, the Board of Education appointed 12 seats on the Bond Measure G Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC), consisting of seven members and five alternates, during the September 22, 2016 board meeting. The CBOC is responsible for informing the public and the Board on the spending of bond revenues, ensuring alignment with both voter intentions and legal requirements. The Committee actively monitors bond-related activities, providing guidance on bond expenditures and making sure funds are used as promised. In a message to the Committee, Jo A.S. Loss, then Vice President of the Board, emphasized the importance of the Committee’s work, acknowledging the impact of Measure G as the largest bond approved in Castro Valley and the significant role it plays in enhancing facilities and technology for our students and staff. https://lnkd.in/gN8uZcS3
