Important Information About our Local Neighborhood Schools

Our neighborhood schools serve one of the fastest growing regions in California.  Enrollment is expected to rise by approximately two elementary schools a year for the next eight years.  We need to upgrade, expand and build more neighborhood schools to accommodate our rapidly growing population.

Even with the recent construction and planned openings of new schools throughout the district, FUSD still has 15 fewer schools than it needs to serve its current population.  To reduce overcrowding and complete repairs and upgrades to aging schools, we must:

• Repair outdated plumbing and bathrooms
• Make schools and classrooms accessible to handicapped students as required by law
• Improve school air-conditioning
• Improve traffic flow at schools
• Build libraries in schools that currently have none
• Build and equip additional elementary schools

Making Local Schools Better Helps Everyone

Fontana area schools have made progress in the academic success of its students - test scores are up and student performance is improving.  Building and equipping new schools and repairing and upgrading our old schools will provide healthy and safe learning environments for all of our children.

	Build libraries and multipurpose rooms at 2 elementary schools that don't have them		Build 3 middle schools to reduce overcrowding		Build 1 high school Build 1 continuation high school
	Build and equip 8 new elementary schools to reduce overcrowding

How do we do this?

We are in the process of identifying priorities to include in a fiscally prudent Bond Measure, which could be presented to the community in the coming months to help our schools.  Among the fiscal protections which would be contained in any Proposition 39 Bond Measure are an independent Citizen's Oversight Committee to monitor any new funds and no money for administrators' salaries.
