Measure R
Why Schools Need Taxpayer Support for Capital Improvements
School funding in California depends on both state funding and local tax dollars. State funding can generally only be used for operational expenses like teacher salaries, supplies, and other materials directly related to student instruction. For facilities maintenance and construction, many school districts depend on local tax dollars.
In 2016, Kelseyville voters passed Measure U by a significant margin, allowing us to make essential upgrades and repairs to our schools. We kept the community informed of our progress along the way, so people knew we respected and appreciated their support. Thanks to sensible planning from our school board and careful execution from our staff and community partners, we were able to complete projects at every single school, even in the midst of a pandemic.

Measure R Information
Measure R will be on the ballot November 2024.
Due to increased enrollment and the normal wear and tear of so many students on our campuses, we need to invest in our schools again. We expect this to be the last time we request a bond measure for many years.
To figure out exactly what we needed, we hired a company to objectively assess our school campuses. Here’s what they said:
"Original and historic buildings throughout the district are especially in urgent need of modernizing in order to meet current safety and accessibility standards, as well as access to the digital education tools necessary for our 21st century learning environment…Given increasing construction, maintenance, and utility costs, as well as the need for facilities to serve as an important community resource for emergency shelter in extreme weather and disaster events, this Needs Assessment focuses on safety, accessibility, durability, and cost containment/mitigation."
Measure R Improvements:
- Building new classrooms to make space for increased enrollment
- Updating inadequate electrical systems
- Repairing/replacing outdated HVAC systems
- Improving health, safety, and handicapped accessibility
- Repairing/replacing deteriorating plumbing systems
- Repairing/replacing leaky roofs
