SCUSD鈥檚 Facilities staff not only ensure that the physical environments of our schools are clean, safe, and welcoming, but that we also look at those sites and spaces through the lens of equity and environmental stewardship. Recent voter-approved Measure H bond funding provided SCUSD with $750M to address facilities modernization, maintenance, upgrades and rebuilds, yet a district-wide current need of $4.4B for our facilities means that our staff must make strategic decisions about how bond funding and other resources are allocated.

鈥淥ur district鈥檚 investments mirror our commitment to uplift every student, embodying our core values.

Together, we build a future where every child thrives,鈥� said Chinua Rhodes, Board of Education President, 茄子视频 City Unified School District.
