Lucia Mar voters approved Measure I, authorizing up to $170,000,000 in general obligation (GO) bond funds, by a 65.59% passage rate. As a result of multiple Board of Education regular meetings and study sessions during the 2015-16 and 2016-17 school years, the following facts were identified:

  • Lucia Mar has significant facility needs as a result of aging facilities
  • The greatest immediate needs are roofing, underground utilities, and the elimination of portable classrooms which have exceeded their lifespan
  • Lucia Mar is eligible for state funding with the passage of Proposition 51. State funds will be leveraged immediately given the expectation that funds will be spent down quickly.
  • In an effort to minimize the average tax rate of the GO bond, four issuances were approved:

1) Spring 2017: $35,000,000 (Series A)

2) Spring 2019: $45,000,000 (Series B)

3) Spring 2021: $45,000,000 (Series C)

4) Spring 2023: $45,000,000 (Series D)

  • It is understood that the timing of bond sales could be impacted by the following:
      • Project schedules and/or construction delays
      • Market timing
      • Other factors outside of district control (availability of labor, Division of State Architect delays, etc.)


Employing the agreed-upon criteria for project prioritization, and after extensive work with multiple stakeholders, the following projects were approved in Series A Projects (schools in alpha order by level):
