Argument For Measure M

Vote YES on Measure M!

In 2010, Aromas-San Juan Unified School District voters overwhelmingly passed a general obligation bond to improve and protect our communities’ most important assets – our local elementary, middle and high schools. Because of your support, improvements have been made in repairing, rehabilitating, and upgrading schools throughout the district, including Aromas School, San Juan School, Mi Escuelita Pre-K and Anzar High School.

Measure M will allow us to continue the job of improving our local schools by reauthorizing $4.2 million of previously approved bonds. This will be done without increasing the District's total authorized debt, while at the same time saving taxpayers millions of dollars and guaranteeing significant taxpayer protections.

School Repair and Student Safety: Measure M will allow us to continue improving our schools by:

  • Making classroom and school seismic and earthquake safety repairs
  • Repairing and replacing leaking pipes and roofs
  • Improving student safety and campus security by replacing or upgrading fire protection and security alarms
  • Replacing outdated electrical wiring throughout the district
  • Renovating and repairing classrooms and facilities throughout the district

Taxpayer Protections: Measure M will protect taxpayers by:

  • Using short-term financings to save millions of dollars of reduced interest costs
  • Requiring annual audits and independent taxpayer oversight of the funds
  • Prohibiting funds from going to administrators' salaries, pensions or benefits
  • Imposing tough legal safeguards requiring all monies to be spent on our local schools and not taken by the state and used elsewhere

Vote YES on Measure M:

To improve our local schools, upgrade student and classroom safety, and enhance property values and home prices, please join parents, teachers, grandparents, guardians, neighbors, business owners and community leaders in voting YES on Measure M!
