It will be a series of four bond with a the taxation amount to be approximately $39.00 dollars of $100,000 assessed value.

Heidi Gallegos, President of the Rowland Board of Education states, “Our responsibility, as an elected Board, is to make decisions that are in the best interest of the children and families we serve. The action taken last night by my fellow Board members and I is our vote of confidence in the leadership and fiscal management of this District. This Board and administration have acted responsibly with the public’s tax dollars regarding the last bond – Measure R. More work is needed to improve and expand facilities to accommodate current and future needs. A general obligation bond will enable Rowland Unified to continue facility improvements."

The Board of Education has taken a much conservative route and reduced the dollar amount for consideration of property valuation rate. Furthermore, the Board established priorities on the bond proposal of certain projects that are in dire need of improvements.

Rowland Unified serves about 18,000 students through a network of 23 campuses.
