Making Our Schools Safer
Information About Measure O

Dear Spreckels USD Community:
 
To ensure all students can learn in safe and clean classrooms, the Board of Education unanimously placed Measure O – the Spreckels Union School District Classroom Repair, Upgrade, Safety Measure – on the November 5th ballot. 
 
If enacted, Measure O addresses necessary health and safety repairs in our aging local elementary and middle schools, including:
 
  • Repairing leaky roofs
  • Continuing to provide safe school drinking water
  • Upgrading smoke and fire alarm systems
  • Removing asbestos, lead paint and mold
  • Replacing deteriorating portables with permanent classrooms 


Measure O will also help to address priorities identified by our community earlier this year, such as providing improved facilities which assist the District in attracting and retaining quality teachers and providing a well-rounded education.
 
Measure O is a $27,000,000 local education bond measure. If passed by voters, bonds will be repaid and the annual cost to the average homeowner will be approximately 3 cents per $100 of assessed (not market) valuation, while bonds are outstanding.
 
Please make an informed decision before you vote on Measure O and visit the links below for more information.Please make an informed decision before you vote on Measure O and visit the links below for more information.

Eric Tarallo
