MEASURE A FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR SCHOOLS Because of the way tax rates and election cycles work, Clovis Unified is at a tipping point. What our schools look

like in the future depends on whether or not a bond measure is passed in November.

Without Measure A:

• We won’t have the resources to maintain, repair and update schools; • Health and safety updates planned at all schools won’t happen.

These facts compelled a group of citizens to request that Measure A, a $335 million bond

measure, be placed on the November ballot to give the community a chance to decide its path.

WHY A FOUNDATION FOR CLOVIS SCHOOLS?
One of the greatest challenges facing Clovis Unified is overcoming the perception that it has ample resources to meet student needs. But the reality is, Clovis Unified receives less funding than other unified school districts. In fact, if Clovis Unified received just the average per pupil funding of other Fresno County districts, it would have an additional
$122 million annually to operate schools. This gap in funding forces CUSD classrooms to go without some of the resources available in other districts. The work of the Foundation for Clovis Schools to mobilize community donors is integral to closing that gap.

CUSD REVENUE PER STUDENT

CUSD would have $122 million more
per year if it received
the county average	$13,622

in per student funding.

$10,800

Clovis	Fresno County Unified                      Average

About 45% of CUSD students are low income, English language learners and/or foster youth – a very high number! – but the state only provides extra concentration dollars to districts when their qualifying students exceeds 55%. This means that, while the student population has a significant need, CUSD receives about $2,000 less per student than the Fresno County average.
