ICOC Past Bond Measures

In November 1998, the district community passed a $95 million General Obligation Bond. This money was used to repair classrooms and leaky roofs; install fire safety improvements; replace outdated plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, and electrical systems; provide handicapped access, and acquire new classrooms and facilities to relieve overcrowding. The project was completed in August 2005. A total of 17 schools were modernized under this funding.

With nearly 69% voter approval in the November 6, 2012, general election, Proposition E (Prop E) allowed the district to improve the educational environment at our neediest campuses substantially. Prop E’s margin of victory represented the highest level of support for a general obligation bond on the ballot in San Diego County. Prop E created a School Facilities Improvement District (SFID) encompassing 31 of our then-44 schools. Prop E was supported by groups such as the San Diego County Taxpayers Association, the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce, the San Diego County Democratic Party (South Region), and many individual parent leaders and community organizations. With the modernization of Sunnyside Elementary School during the summer of 2019, all Proposition E funds have been expended.
