How does this compare to other districts’ funding of capital improvements?

Answer

MPCSD has the lowest bond tax of any TK-8 district in San Mateo County (some example districts listed below). And MPCSD hasn’t put a district wide bond on the ballot for capital improvements to our schools since 2006. While there was a bond for the building of Upper Laurel in 2013, the rest of the schools have not received this type of critical investment in almost 20 years. By contrast, other local school districts have raised many bonds over the last two decades to fund their facilities needs.

Las Lomitas–Measure S in 2013 for $60M, Measure R for $70M in 2018
Sequoia Union– Measure A in 2014 for $265M, Measure W in 2022 for $591M
Redwood City–Measure T in 2015 for $193M, Measure S in 2022 for $298M
Portola Valley–Measure Z in 2018 for $49.5M
San Carlos–Measure H in 2012 for $72M, Measure H in 2024 for $176M
Woodside– Measure D in 2013 for $13.5M, Measure E in 2024 for $36M
Ravenswood–Measure H in 2016 for $26M, Measure S in 2018 for $70M, Measure I in 2022 for $110M
