WHY FUNDS ARE NEEDED TO FINISH CLOVIS SOUTH

FACT: Clovis East High is overcrowded, with 5,000 students on campus this year and growing. In 2020, the community supported building Clovis South High in order to ease overcrowded conditions. Plans and a budget (that included normal inflation) were developed for Clovis South (located on the Terry Bradley Educational Center along with Sanchez Intermediate) before the pandemic. No one could have known that unprecedented post-pandemic inflation in construction costs would create a funding gap, but it did. Now, without Measure A the district cannot finish the high school and other solutions would have to be found to house the thousands of students slated to attend the Clovis South.

Every school facility in Clovis Unified has benefited from bond projects not once or twice, but many times over. Across the District, bond funds have been used for:
- Fixing leaking roofs, electrical wiring, fire safety doors and smoke alarms
- Repairing and upgrading deteriorating science, engineering and math classrooms to provide modern learning spaces at all of our schools
- Building new schools and adding space at existing schools to reduce overcrowding
- Building new performing arts and athletic spaces and upgrading others
- Making needed updates to facilities to provide safe, clean drinking water
- Improving school safety and security by updating communication systems and security systems

- And many, many other upgrades and repairs
Many people don’t realize that as of 2024, our community has a lower tax rate on school bonds than it did in 2020, 2010 or even 2000. They also don’t know that Clovis Unified residents pay a lower tax rate than people living in neighboring school districts like Fresno, Sanger and Central.
