WHEREAS, the City of Cupertino recognizes that the quality of public education
in a community is a primary determinant of the quality of life in that community; and
WHEREAS, our community shares the high expectations of the Cupertino Union
School District for the educational success of its students--success that depends on high
quality instructional programs, safe tan orderly learning environments, and good school
facilities; and
WHEREAS, school facilities in the Cupertino Union School District are over 35
years old and the state of California does not provide funding for the renovation of aging
school facilities; and
WHEREAS, since 1989, the Cupertino Union School District--without raising
taxes--has completed $67 million in school renovations as part of its Facility
Modernization Program; and
WHEREAS, to complete the renovation of all its elementary and junior high
schools, the Cupertino Union School District Board of Education adopted a resolution
dated January 24, 1995, to place a $71 million bond--Measure A--on the June 6 1995,
statewide ballot; and
WHEREAS, the cost to taxpayers residing within the boundaries of the Cupertino
Union School District will be $30 per $100,000 of assessed home valuation; and
WHEREAS, if passed by 2/3 of the voters, the proceeds of the bond will be used
to renovate classrooms, add needed classrooms for enrollment growth, rehabilitate junior
high science labs, replace aging heating and ventilation systems, replace leaking roofs,
and network all schools for technology;
