On Tuesday, November 6, 2018, all of the voters in the Sunnyvale School approved Measure GG, a $100 million school bond. Measure GG will provide funds to renovate older schools, improve instructional technology, and increase campus safety and security at schools in the District. The average yearly cost to property owners in the Sunnyvale School District will be $10 per $100,000 of assessed valuation (not market value).

Measure GG funds will be used to continue the renovation and modernization of all district schools, providing students and teachers with comparable classrooms and facilities. The bond will help provide schools with long-term facility maintenance funds and updated instructional technology.

In November 2013, voters in the Sunnyvale School District passed Measure G: a $96 million school bond measure to continue rebuilding Sunnyvale School District.

Measure G passed with 68% of voters supporting the measure. The bond proceeds provide funding for technology improvements, comparable classrooms for all students, and increasing energy efficiency efforts throughout Sunnyvale School District.

In November 2004, voters in the Sunnyvale School District approved Measure P, a $120 million General Obligation Bond measure, to maintain a safe learning environment at Sunnyvale's elementary and middle schools by:

• Upgrading infrastructure;
• Improving and expanding school libraries;
• Repairing, replacing and rehabilitating aging facilities;
• And, constructing and equipping classroom buildings and student support facilities.

Facilities improvements to be funded by Measure P were identified by Sunnyvale School District faculty, staff, students, independent facilities professionals, and community residents. The result of their work is a comprehensive Facilities Standards and Master Plan to be implemented over the next ten years. The Facilities Standards and Master Plan provide a cost-effective "road map" to achieve high-quality instructional facilities required to accommodate the future educational programming needs of our students.

Laws governing the passage of Measure P require strict accountability for the spending of funds received as a result of voter-approved bonds. These include annual independent audits and public oversight. An independent Citizens Oversight Committee (COC), comprised of local senior citizens, homeowners, taxpayers, and parents, among others, has been appointed to monitor expenditure of all Measure P funds and to keep the public informed of the progress of the Measure P.

In November 1996, 85% of voters in the Sunnyvale School District generously approved Measure A, a $34 million dollar bond, to begin the repair and renovation of our aging elementary and middle school facilities. These funds have been used to replace leaky roofs, upgrade outdated electrical systems, renovate classrooms and science labs, remove asbestos and build new classrooms. These projects were completed on time and under budget. The school district refinanced the bonds, securing a lower interest rate to save taxpayers money. While much improved, Sunnyvale's elementary and middle schools are 40-60 years old and further repairs and renovations were needed. For example, leaks in the water system are common. One of these leaks resulted in the flooding of a school library. Measure P will fund the next phase of school repairs in the District.
