Dear Campbell Union High School District Community,

We are proud to share with you our final newsletter associated with Measure C, the $95 Million Bond Measure which you, our community, passed in November 1999 to begin the renovation of our aging sites: Blackford, Branham, Del Mar, Leigh, Westmont and Prospect.

Since the passage of Measure C in 1999, our team has efficiently managed the Bond funds in order to make each dollar go as far as possible for the most critical work needed on our facilities. Furthermore, we are proud to be able to inform you that in 2005 the Campbell Union High School District refinanced our Measure C General Bond Fund obligations which resulted in finance savings of $770,064. Simply stated, your tax rate for the Measure C Bonds has been reduced. We are pleased to have passed all of these savings back to our community

Much has changed at all of our schools for the betterment of our students with the ambitious undertaking of Measure C. We have added a brand new continuation high school. 200 classrooms have been completely renovated and 40 new ones have been added. There are new science facilities, new electrical, heating and ventilating systems, new door locks, alarm systems and corridor lighting. Look around the district and you’ll see completely redone art facilities in some places, music facilities in others. Swimming pools, playfields, and parking lots also received attention, and renovation of sports bowls throughout the district is scheduled for completion by early fall.

We are excited by the installation of a district astrophotography observatory at Prospect, where technology and the internet enable students throughout the district to study the universe with a computer-guided research grade telescope. Few districts in the country can boast of such a facility. Construction has also begun on the replacement of our district agricultural facility at Westmont. Also rare in high schools, this facility and the observatory alone set this district apart from most others in our commitment to expanding educational opportunities for all students. I invite you to spend a few moments looking inside this report to discover exactly what has been accomplished at each school site.

Our construction program and its financing are reviewed by the Bond Oversight Committee on a quarterly basis. The committee has consistently reported to the Board of Trustees that the district is providing what was promised to the voters. Once again, we are very grateful to our community for its support.
