Measure A Status Report, 2010

Measure A – Building our Future!

San Ramon Valley Unified School District
Modernization and Reconstruction Status Report

February 2010

Measure A – a community investment!

Thanks to voter-approved school facilities bonds passed in 1998 (Measure D) and 2002
(Measure A), the San Ramon Valley Unified School District continues to move forward
with major modernization projects, promoting safe, healthy and highly functional
facilities for our children to learn!

Measure A, a $260 million bond, is allowing the district to reduce overcrowding
(particularly at our high schools), upgrade and replace outdated electrical and HVAC
systems, upgrade and renovate classrooms that are 25 years old, add science and
technology labs and replace temporary portable classrooms with permanent buildings.
The designs of these facilities are functional, cost-effective, and of high-quality
construction making the buildings easier to maintain and reducing future maintenance
costs. In addition, the district has been able to secure more than $60 million in state
matching funds, giving taxpayers a higher return on their investment.

For more information about Measure A and school facilities, contact the SRVUSD
Facilities Department at 925-552-5986 or visit www.srvusd.net

Measure A Oversight Committee
State law requires that Measure A, a Proposition 39 Facilities Bond, has a citizens' oversight committee that
conducts independent financial and performance audits to ensure funds are spent specifically on school
improvements. The Measure A Facilities Oversight and Advisory Committee was appointed by the Board of
Education in January 2003. The Committee, commonly referred to as the "FOAC," meets monthly and is
charged with the following:

•  Provide oversight of Measure A expenditures in order to assure bond proceeds are utilized to complete the
Measure A projects.
•  Inform the public about the expenditure of bond proceeds, including the submission of an annual report to
the Board of Education.
•  Provide design and cost recommendations to the Board at the conceptual design and construction document
phases of projects consistent with the intent of Measure A.
•  Provide recommendations on priorities for remaining Measure A projects.
•  Provide input and recommendations on future facilities needs of schools and district.
•  Provide recommendations on specific related issues as requested by the Board of Education.

Through this committee, the community as a whole is able to participate in the process of reviewing school
facilities and planning for the future. The committee began its work in February 2005. Regular meetings are held
once a month on Tuesday evenings. The FOAC is an official Board oversight committee; as such, committee
meetings are open to the public and subject to all provisions of the Brown Act. For more information about the
oversight committee, contact the Facilities Department at 925-552-5986.
