Bond Measure S
Bond Measure S
On November 8, 2016, voters in the Oak Park Unified School District graciously approved Bond Measure S, authorizing the issuance of up to $60,000,000 in general obligation bonds. Measure S was designed to improve student safety and campus security, repair and upgrade aging classrooms and school facilities, and modernize classrooms, facilities, equipment, and instructional technology to support student achievement across all academic areas. The measure includes strong accountability provisions, including independent citizen oversight, annual audits, and a requirement that all funds remain local.
