San Bernardino students deserve safe schools. Your YES vote on Measure Z will deliver essential repairs and safety upgrades.
Many of our local schools were built over 55 years ago and need major repairs and updates. Underground pipes and infrastructure are deteriorating, 25+ year-old AC units leave students sitting in temperatures that can reach 90+ degrees. Last year, there were 734 roof leaks across SBCUSD campuses, resulting in expensive repairs.
In the long term, it costs us more to patch up deteriorating portable classrooms and leaky roofs than it does to replace them. We cannot afford more band aid solutions.
That is why we need Measure Z.
Measure Z is a cost-effective investment that will help repair our schools now, attract and retain quality teachers in classrooms, and ensure students can focus on learning in safe, comfortable classrooms.
The Math is Simple. Measure Z = Essential Repairs and Upgrades:
Repair leaky roofs
Repair 25 year-old heating, AC, and ventilation units
Upgrade classrooms, labs, and technology to meet modern academic standards
Upgrade older schools to meet current health and building safety codes
A vote for Measure Z is a vote for safe, high-quality schools and career technical education for every one of our local students, setting them up for success in college and good-paying jobs.
Strict Fiscal Accountability
All funds must be spent on our local schools and cannot be taken by the State
Annual independent audits and a citizens’ oversight committee will ensure funds are spent as promised

San Bernardino City Unified School District serves nearly 45,000 students. Every student deserves a school that is safe, secure, and sets them up for success. Vote YES on Measure Z for essential repairs and safe schools.
