MUS Announces Bond Measure
At a special facilities committee meeting last week, Montecito Union School board members decided to move forward with a November bond measure, to fund critical improvements at the school, according to superintendent Tammy Murphy. “Based on what we’ve learned from last time, it’s a very different bond this
time around,” Murphy told us. Looking to move forward from the failure of Measure Q, the $27,150,000 school bond measure that was on the ballot in November 2014, the school has completely revised the plans for campus improvements, focusing on critical infrastructure instead of adding square footage in the form of a multipurpose cafeteria and auditorium building. Instead, the board has spent the last two years focusing on the two oldest buildings on campus: one that is 90 years old and one that is 60 (the main building and the kindergarten building). Both structures need electric and plumbing work, as well
as ADA updating. “We’ve streamlined our efforts to address the two oldest buildings. These are health, life, and safety issues,” Murphy said. The bond measure is not to exceed $16,100,000. “It’s a much pared-down bond,” Murphy reiterated. Also in the plans: addressing the south parking lot, which causes traffic issues on San Ysidro Road during drop-off and pick-up most days. “We are reconfiguring the drop-off loop, and expanding onto the adjacent property, which we own,” Murphy said, saying that the property, which also houses a historic adobe, will not be used to house buildings, and the adobe will remain untouched. Another facilities meeting is scheduled for next Wednesday, May 25, with a regular board meeting on Tuesday, May 31, where resolutions related to the bond measure will be passed.
