Welcome to the Taft School Measure S Bond Blog
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.
The plan charts the course for improving classrooms, infrastructure, and learning spaces across RCSD—identifying more than $819 million in needed repairs, upgrades, modernization, and construction over the next 8 to 10 years.
The Board of Trustees approved multiple initiatives aimed at improving climate control in local schools. These measures are part of ongoing efforts to optimize learning conditions for students across the district, a priority identified early last fall.
Taft Community School is the next site scheduled to receive energy-efficient lighting upgrades as part of the Redwood City School District’s ongoing Measure S Lighting Retrofit Project.
Developed since June 2024, the FMP outlines an estimated $777.8 million in identified facility needs, with $298 million available through Measure S bond funding.
The first phase of installations will begin this summer at Adelante Selby, Hoover, Roosevelt, and Taft, as these schools require fewer structural and electrical modifications. The remaining campuses will receive upgrades in subsequent phases until every school is equipped with a modern HVAC system.
Redwood City School District (RCSD) is gearing up for a new phase in its Facilities Master Plan (FMP) development process, inviting community members to engage in upcoming opportunities to provide feedback and shape the future of school facilities across the district.
