Bond Measures
We at LASD understand that our schools serve as the cornerstones of our neighborhoods, and we are committed to maintaining our facilities to the standard that our parents and community members expect. Because the state does not provide funding for facilities, meeting these expectations requires local funding sources, primarily bond measures approved by public vote.
Once a bond measure has been approved, spending of the funds is guided by the Facilities Master Plan and overseen by the Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee.

In November 2024, voters approved Measure EE, which authorized LASD to issue up to $350 million dollars in bonds, while costing taxpayers no more than $30 per $100,000 of a property’s assessed (not market) value per year.
Funding from Measure EE will be used to:
- Fix leaky roofs and windows and modernize aging heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical systems
- Improve accessibility for students with disabilities
- Enhance science, technology, engineering, and math classrooms and labs
- Complete the construction of the San Antonio Campus to relieve school traffic and overcrowding
-
In November 2014, voters approved Measure N, which authorized the issuance of $150 million in bonds to benefit the Los Altos School District. The funds have been used to upgrade classrooms and labs to keep them safe, clean and in good repair; update technology; maximize energy efficiency; and acquire the San Antonio Campus and begin construction of the new facilities.
-
In November 1998, voters approved Measure H, which authorized the issuance of $94.7 million dollars in bonds to fully rebuild the district’s nine campuses. The bonds were fully paid off as of 2023.
