Measures J and K: Health and Safety Funding for Twin Rivers School District Facilities

Measure J and Measure K will be on the November General Election ballot.
Twin Rivers Unified School District (TRUSD) is committed to ensuring our schools provide each student with optimal facilities to learn, grow, and become college and career ready. With an average building age of 57 years old, our facilities have ongoing maintenance and infrastructure needs that exceed available funding. 
 
Unlike neighboring school districts, Twin Rivers has not had a revenue measure to finance facility improvements at its aging facilities in more than a decade. To address that need, the TRUSD Board of Trustees voted to place Measures J and K on the ballot to fund improvements in elementary, middle and high school facilities across the district.
 
The information below is intended to provide you with factual information about Measures J and K, how funding will be used, and where to find more information about the election process.  

What are Measures J and K?

Measure J calls for a $120 million bond to address facilities improvements used for middle and high school programs throughout the District, including ancillary and support facilities.
 
Measure K calls for an election within the District’s Elementary School Facilities Improvement District (SFID), which was formed in 2016, for a $150 million Bond to address elementary school facilities improvements in the SFID.

How will Measures J and K Benefit our Students?

Measures J and K will provide funding for Priority 1 and Priority 2 projects identified in TRUSD’s Long Range Facilities Master Plan.
 
Priority 1 projects are identified as having a high risk for disruption to classrooms and operations if not addressed in the next five years (these include legal and safety needs, critical replacements, and growth)
 
Priority 2 projects are those that should be addressed within the next 15 years to avoid disrepair (these include curricular, instruction and program needs, and crucial life-cycle replacements)
 
Modernization projects completed with funding from Measures J and K would be eligible for state matching funds, should they be available. 
 
Measure J and Measure K will fund critical health and safety repairs such as: 
 
  • Enhance school security and safety features
  • Replace lead pipes and provide safe drinking water
  • Repair heating, air conditioning, and electrical systems
  • Repair cracked pavement and deteriorating playgrounds
  • Remove asbestos, mold, and lead paint
  • Repair leaky roofs
  • Improve security and emergency response systems
  • Construct and equip classrooms with essential technology

Additional Details About Measure J and Measure K

  • Measure J and Measure K will fund facility improvements and upgrades through property tax assessments. Measure J will levy a yearly tax of .023 cents per $100 assessed value, and Measure K will levy a yearly tax of .037 cents per $100 assessed value.

  • A Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee and a third-party auditor must review and audit all bond expenditures. This includes monitoring planned improvements, costs, schedule, and progress of the bonds.

  • Funds from these measures are prohibited from being used on administrators’ salaries, pensions, or benefits. Legal safeguards require all bond funds be spent on TRUSD school improvements.
