Measure Y
Measure Y is a ballot initiative that was approved by 63 percent of voters of the Temecula Valley Unified School District in November 2012. Measure Y makes available $165 million from property taxes to acquire, construct and reconstruct school facilities, and provide for supporting infrastructure at existing school sites throughout the District. The funds come from issuance of a series of bonds to occur four times over approximately ten years. The first series of bonds was issued in February 2013 for $35 million.
Since the time the initiative was approved, the funds made available by Measure Y have been budgeted to address the most critical building needs of the District. These needs, identified in the Master Facility Plan and Bond Project List were prioritized through a weighing of numerous factors, including health, safety and security, regulatory and legal compliance issues, technology needs, educational program enhancements, projected enrollment growth, and the District’s Mission, Vision, and Core Values.
