Welcome to the Measure S Bond Blog for the RCSD facility located at 815 Allerton St.
This page has been created to keep the RCSD community updated on the progress under Phase II of the district's school modernization and construction program. Measure S, approved by local voters in 2022, is funding Phase II.
Families, staff, and community members are playing a key role in shaping the future of their local school campuses by participating in these committees.
In the spring, the Board directed the Bond program management team to prioritize quick-start projects, focusing heavily on adding cooling systems to classrooms without AC.
The performance audit revealed a positive assessment of the district's management, with no significant problems or disagreements identified. Spending on bond projects was found to align with what voters approved, ensuring accountability and transparency. Additionally, the audit confirmed that payroll and procurement procedures adhere to legal requirements, and no significant accounting issues or unreported financial problems were discovered. Overall, the audit concluded that the bond funds are well-managed and used appropriately.
Redwood City School District (RCSD) is progressing to Phase II of its School Modernization and Construction program, following community approval of Measure S in November 2022.
If approved by local voters, the money raised by Measure S will only be used for capital expenses and not for operating costs. The law is clear that bond funds may only be used on capital expenses that are expressed in the measure.
