Bonds

Sunnyside Unified School District is committed to providing all students with a safe, comfortable, and well-designed learning environment.

 

From March 2012 to November 2018, the Governing Board approved the sale of $88 million in bonds.
 

The following is a disbursement of the bond monies:

  • $10 million to upgrade athletic facilities
  • $12 million for construction of a new fine arts magnet school
  • $32 million for school facility upgrades including safety and security improvements and energy conservation
  • $27 million for technology upgrades and expansion of one-to-one computing in all K-12 classrooms
  • $1 million for Safety and Security
  • $6 million transportation bond (40 Buses)

 

 

 

 

A proposed schedule calls for seven sales of bonds over the next 10 years. The schedule can be refined to align with budget information on technology and the construction schedule for the K-8 fine arts magnet school. The sale schedule maintains the integrity of the promise made to taxpayers to keep the tax levy at or below the current amount for the life of the bond. Funding from the first sale of $14.6 million in bonds would be available in March 2012. Of that, $5.76  million could be designed for furniture, fixtures and equipment (FFE) which includes technology (computers/laptops/software). Payments for buses can be amortized over a longer period of time, meaning they do not have to be paid in full immediately. Law requires that bond funds be used within three years of sale.
