Measure M - Pajaro Valley Unified school bond

Measure M would allow Pajaro Valley Unified School District to issue up to $315 million in bonds for maintenance and construction projects. Property owners in the school district would pay about $60 per $100,000 of assessed property value annually for roughly 30 years. Assessed value usually changes when a property is sold, and is often lower than the market value.

The bond money could be used only on school facilities and programs, not teacher or administrative salaries. The money could be used for:

New and refurbished student centers, libraries, gyms, restrooms, playgrounds and classrooms.
Repairs and replacement of old windows, roofs, leaky pipes, heating and air conditioning systems and electrical wiring.
Upgrades to fences, lights, fire alarms and security systems.
Repaved and reconfigured parking lots, bike lanes and walkways.
Landscaping and gardening.
Below-market-rate rental housing for teachers and staff.
Solar panels and electric-vehicle charging stations.
Removal of mold and other hazardous substances.
Accessibility upgrades for students with disabilities.
Expanded robotics and coding programs.
Science lab equipment, kitchenware, electronics, outdoor benches and classroom furniture.
