Bond Measures

About Citizens' Bond Oversight Committees

On March 16, 2023, the Governing Board expanded the authority of the Measure J Citizens' Oversight Committee to include Measure S expenditures. The name of the Committee has changed to the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee. The purpose of this Committee is to inform the public of the District's expenditure of bond proceeds, to review expenditures to ensure bond proceeds are expended only for the purposes set for in Measure J and Measure S, and to present an annual report to the Governing Board. The Committee may engage in the following activities: receive and review copies of the District's annual independent performance audits and annual independent financial audits; inspect District facilities and grounds for which bond proceeds have been or will be expended; review efforts by the District to maximize bond proceeds by implementing various cost-saving measures.

Measure S

MEASURE S  $249.6 MILLION

PASSED BY VOTERS  NOVEMBER 8, 2022

Measure S will not increase taxes.  The new measure is structured to not add additional taxes to what property taxpayers are currently paying with Measure C and Measure J, but to extend those current tax rates. Measure S will address the needs of our students through modernization and renovation projects at schools throughout the District.

Measure J

MEASURE J  $249 MILLION

PASSED BY VOTERS  JUNE 7, 2016

On September 7, 2016, the District issued the first series of bonds from Measure J.  The sale was a great success, with an estimated $84 million sold at near historic low interest rates.  The purpose of Measure J is to upgrade, modernize and construct classrooms, science labs and libraries; improve student access to technology; repair leaky roofs, outdated electrical plumbing systems; and improve safety, security, and access for students with disabilities.

Measure C

MEASURE C  |  $100 MILLION

PASSED BY VOTERS MARCH 5, 2002

In 2002, the residents in Fairfield and Suisun voted for the passage of Measure C to provide adequate classrooms, make essential health, safety and building repairs at aging school facilities, and relieve overcrowding by acquiring, constructing or renovating local school sites. Measure C was one of the most successful bond programs in the State with nearly 50 projects completed.
