Measure U is a bond measure that will pay for criticial facilities improvements on all 5 of our campuses. It will improve the safety and secuity of our school buildings so our kids are protected on hot days or in the case of emergency. If approved in November, Measure U will authorize the sale of $124 million in bonds. After those bonds are sold, there will be no additional bonds issued under Measure U. All registered voters in the Menlo Park City School District boundaries are eligible to vote on Measure U.

The One Community Campaign (OCC) is an annual parent fundraiser that runs at the start of the school year. It raises money for each school's PTO and the grant that the MPAEF presents to the district every year. The OCC funds specialist teachers such as art, music, librarians, and PE, mental health support for students, higher teacher salaries. and on-campus enrichment programs such as musicals, assemblies, and science curricula.
