What is Measure V?
Measure V is a school improvement bond measure on the upcoming November 2024 ballot to provide local students need safe, modern classrooms, science labs, and instructional technology to be ready to compete in college and careers.
Why do we need Measure V?
Unfortunately, nearly every student and teacher in our great local schools spends class time in outdated portable classrooms that are over 30 years old, have water leaks/structural damage, and don’t have modern wiring for instructional technology or adequate heating, cooling, and ventilation.
How would funding from Measure V be used?
Voting Yes on V will:
-
Provide modern labs, career technical facilities, and equipment to prepare students for
-
college and in-demand careers in fields like health sciences, engineering, and skilled trades
-
Upgrade and construct classrooms, labs, and school facilities to support high- qualityinstruction
-
Improve student safety and campus security including fire safety and emergency communications
-
Repair deteriorating roofs, plumbing, sewer, heating, ventilation, and electrical systems in older classrooms
How can I be sure Measure V funds will be spent properly?
By law, a bond measure would require accountability protections:
-
By law, all funds remain under local control and may only support local schools
-
Independent citizen oversight and public disclosure of spending is required
-
No funds may be taken by the State
I don’t have children attending local schools. How does this impact me?
Even if you do not have school-age children, Measure V helps the quality education and improves the quality of life in the community and protects the value of our homes.
What level of support is required Measure V pass?
At least 55% of those voters who cast a ballot on Measure V must vote “Yes” in order for the measure to be approved.
How much will Measure V cost?
Measure V will provide $59 million in locally controlled funding for repairs and upgrades to Bonsall schools. The cost of Measure V would be limited to 4¢ per $100 of assessed (not market) value.
What is the difference between assessed value and market value?
The cost of bond measures is based on the assessed value of properties. The assessed value of property is generally based on the last purchase price and may not increase to reflect inflation by more than 2% a year. Market value, on the other hand, is based on market conditions and tends to grow at a much faster rate. Thus, the assessed value is usually lower than the market value, especially if a property was purchased long ago at a much lower price than it could be purchased for today. It is this typically lower assessed value upon which the cost of a bond measure to each taxpayer is based.
Could Measure V funding be taken by the State?
No funds could be taken by the State or used for purposes other than those specified in Measure V. All funds from the bond measure would benefit Bonsall schools only.
When will the measure appear on the ballot?
Measure V will appear on the November 2024 ballot.
