Clovis Unified School District

About Facility Bonds

Our commitment to the community is that every student from every corner of the district has access to well-maintained, modern classrooms and school buildings. Voter-approved facility bond measures allow us to achieve this goal, and to deliver 21st century learning environments at every one of our schools, whether the oldest or the very newest.

Facility bonds are specifically for new construction and modernization/major repair projects, and require citizen oversight and annual audits to ensure funds are being used wisely. Since 1986, our Clovis Unified community has supported bonds that have helped build 22 schools (including three high schools and three intermediate schools) to keep pace with growing enrollment, and kept every school in our district in good shape, even as we’ve grown from a school district of close to 17,000 students to one serving more than 43,000.

In Clovis Unified, our current tax rate for bond repayments is the lowest it has been in close to 40 years, and is not expected to change after passage of the 2024 Measure A bond.

A bar graph shows tax rates over time, with the rate remaining stable at $155 per $100,000 of assessed value from 2015 to 2030. The text 'No tax rate increase!' highlights the stability.

To learn more about how facility bonds have been used at your local school, visit the “Impact of Facility Bonds” section available on the About Us tab of each school webpage.

Past Bond Measures

Passed by voters in 2024, this $400 million facility bond will be used to complete the final phases of the Terry P. Bradley Educational Center, which houses Clovis South High School and Phillip V. Sanchez Intermediate School, as well as several modernization projects, and safety and energy efficiency projects at every school site.

The Citizens’ Oversight Committee members will be appointed in Spring 2025.

Citizens Committee Report: June 12, 2024

A Citizens Committee to Study Capital Facility Needs was formed to inventory and research Clovis Unified's facility needs for its 53 campuses and business offices. The 40-member group of volunteers met for six months and presented their findings and recommendations to the Governing Board in June. See below for Committee Chairperson Todd Cook's recommendation to the Board.

Citizens Committee Report to the Governing Board, 2011

Frequently Asked Questions

The list of critical facility improvement/construction projects identified by the Citizens Committee to Study Capital Facility Needs totaled an estimated $550 million. To allow the tax rate to remain unchanged, the committee prioritized the list to bring the number down to $400 million.
The bonds are structured for a 25-year pay-off period. Being careful stewards of taxpayer resources, we have used opportunities as available to refinance bonds and decrease the repayment window and plan to do so with 2024 Measure A bonds as well. Refinancing allows us to avert interest payments and reduce costs to taxpayers. It is also why residents see many lines on their annual tax bill- every line represents a refinanced bond.
Passage of a local facility bond ensures that the money is controlled locally and cannot be taken by the state. A group of independent citizens called the Citizens Oversight Committee monitor the district’s use of bond dollars, conduct a yearly audit and provide an annual report to the community.

Clovis Unified, because of its previous successful financial stewardship with bond funds, holds the best credit ranking from among California’s 20 largest public school districts. (Standard & Poor affirmed this year the district has a rating of AA/Stable.) “That means we are going to get a better rate of interest for bonds that we sell, and our community and district will see benefits as a result of having a better interest rate,” said CUSD Associate Superintendent of Administrative Services Michael Johnston. “That allows us to ultimately maximize funds and maximize their impact for our students.”

Previous outcomes of bond funds, reports and information about usage can be found on cusd.com and also on each school’s website. (Go to the “About” tab and select the “Impact of Facility Bonds” to learn about funding usage at your neighborhood school.)

In 2020, the community supported building Clovis South High in order to ease overcrowded conditions in the district’s southeast. Plans and a budget were developed for Clovis South (located on the Terry Bradley Educational Center along with Sanchez Intermediate) before the COVID-19 pandemic. No one could have known that an unprecedented post-pandemic inflation of construction prices – more than 40% jumps in some material and labor costs – would create a funding gap, but it did.

The construction industry, like so many others, was hit hard. (See chart below.) When costs began to soar, planners scaled back in many areas and focused on completion of critical buildings that will help to ease severe student overcrowding in the district’s southeast area.

In order to complete the final phases of construction for the high school campus, funds from this bond are necessary.

Escalating costs

NON-RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS	Price Change since 2020
Inputs to Construction	40.6%
Plumbing fixtures and fittings	18.1%
Lumber and Wood Products	25.3%
