What Can Bond Funding Pay For?
Understanding Local School Funding: What Do Bond Dollars Pay For?
As we look ahead to the upcoming parcel tax renewal, we want our community to understand how local school funding works—and why these two funding sources are not interchangeable.
Bond funding, such as Measure H, supports long-term improvements to our school facilities—including classrooms, roofs, windows, doors, HVAC systems and modernization projects.
You can see those dollars at work across San Carlos schools, creating safer, more comfortable and climate-ready learning environments for students and staff.
An important distinction: By law, bond funds cannot be used for ongoing expenses such as teacher and staff salaries or educational programs.
That’s why different sources of local funding serve different purposes.
Bonds = Buildings. Parcel Taxes = People + Programs.
