Assistant superintendent explains status of Measure K
After upgrading 147 classrooms with advanced teaching technology, the Upland Unified School District has about $8.9 million in it's first round of Measure K funds left.
Measure K was passed by Upland voters in 2008, which provides money for upgrades to district campuses.
The full amount approved by voters was $103 million, but the bonds are accessed through a series of "issuances", said Deo Persaud, assistant superintendent of business services at the district.
The first issuance was in the amount of $26.5 million.
So far about $17.5 million has been spent, leaving $8.9 million left.
The amount of the issuances are based on the district's construction plans over time and the commitment to stay within a specified tax levy as approved by voters, Persaud said.
"Measure K is transforming our classrooms to prepare our current and future students to meet the demands of the 21st. Century workforce," Persaud said. "Without Measure K, this transformation would not be possible. UUSD will always be grateful to our community for their continued support for our students."
