Measure O Bond

Measure O is a local school improvement bond approved by Banning voters to fund repairs, safety upgrades, and technology improvements in our schools. Funds are legally restricted to facility projects and cannot be used for administrator salaries or pensions.

Measure O focuses on three key areas:

1. Renovating and repairing existing classrooms and facilities.

2. Upgrading campus security and emergency communication systems.

3. Updating classroom technology, wireless networks, and infrastructure.

Measure O will help strengthen security by upgrading fencing, lighting, emergency communication systems, fire alarms, and safe entry points, as well as improving drop-off and pick-up areas for safer traffic flow.

Today’s students learn in digital environments that require reliable internet and classroom devices. Measure O will expand wireless coverage, modernize classroom technology, and upgrade infrastructure so students are prepared for college and careers.

An Independent Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC) reviews all expenditures. In addition, the District is required to conduct annual financial and performance audits, which are made available to the public.

Projects are prioritized based on student safety, urgency of repairs, instructional impact, and cost efficiency. Construction will also be phased to minimize disruption to student learning.
