School Board Passes Resolution Prioritizing Project for Bond Measure H

Announcement submitted by Dublin Unified School District:

At the Tuesday, March 29 regular meeting, the Dublin Unified Board of Trustees approved a resolution that prioritizes projects of Measure H, the $283 million general obligation bond measure which goes before the voters on the June 7, 2016 ballot.

Top priorities identified include:

• The initial phase of second high school in the east of the Dublin community
• Modernization and renovation of older schools on the west side of the community, including Frederiksen, Dublin and Murray Elementary Schools
• The addition of science labs at Dublin High, Wells and Fallon Middle Schools

Measure H will need to pass by a 55 percent vote of the community in order for this funding to be available. A comprehensive Facilities Master Plan is in the final stages of development. Input from more than 1,000 community members was included in the FMP process. The FMP is an important element in establishing the priorities for Measure H.

“It was critical that the community understand that we have clear priorities for the use of the potential funding from Measure H,” said Board President Dan Cunningham. “This resolution is a direct response to meet our needs in preventing overcrowding, and to renovate and modernize our older schools in the west side of our community.”
