Vote YES on B: a responsible plan to replace outdated and deteriorating high school classrooms and prevent devastating cuts to instructional programs.
Our local high schools consistently win state and national awards recognizing the high-quality education they provide for local students, who perform well above state and national averages.
Aging and deteriorating classrooms, labs, and school facilities need urgent upgrades to keep students safe and support quality instruction.
Archie Williams and Redwood are over 60 years old and Tam High is over 100 years old. The last improvement bond passed almost two decades ago.
Following the narrow defeat of a bond measure earlier this year, Tamalpais Union High School District leaders worked with the community to develop a scaled-down proposal focused on only the most essential projects. Measure B is the result.
Measure B is 44% smaller than the last measure and will provide $289,000,000 in locally controlled funding that is equitably distributed to specific projects at each high school.
The State does not fund facility improvements so upgrades to local high schools require local funding.
Without Measure B, significant funds would have to be diverted from teaching and classroom instruction to fund urgent and essential repairs at our schools.
Voting Yes on B funds only urgent and essential improvements:
Replacing the most outdated and obsolete classrooms, science labs, classroom technology, and equipment
Repairing leaky roofs and inefficient heating, cooling, electrical, and plumbing systems
Converting outdated and deteriorating temporary portable classrooms to permanent structures
Mandatory fiscal accountability and local control:
Protecting quality education in local schools is good for students, our community, and for home values.
