Glendora Unified School District

San Gabriel Valley Tribune

• Candidates debate Measure G - 11/1/05
• Glendora Unified to put bond measure on November ballot - 8/16/05

The Glendora Unified School District (GUSD) is committed to providing all students quality education in a safe learning environment. In order to provide local students with adequate classrooms and school facilities, it is necessary to make major repairs and upgrades to our 40+ year school buildings.

GUSD qualifies for $12.1 million in state grants. Local voters must pass Measure G in order for GUSD to receive these State funds. Our $12.1 million will otherwise go to other school districts that do pass a school bond.

Measure G will:

Repair and upgrade local school buildings including:

Repair, replace, upgrade, and install heating and ventilation systems at all school sites to meet current building codes
Replace, upgrade, and install electrical wiring/power to accommodate technology and computers in classrooms and libraries
Upgrade deteriorating classrooms to meet current standards
Repair and replace deteriorating roofs and plumbing
Repair restrooms
Replace deteriorating roofs as necessary

Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee to Ensure Taxpayers’ Money is Spent Wisely.

A Citizens’ Oversight Committee will ensure Measure G funds will ONLY be used for the work spelled out in the ballot. By law, no funds can be spent on salaries. Bond funds will be audited annually by an independent Certified Public Accounting (C.P.A.) firm.

History of Taxpayer Accountability:

“In 2000 voters approved Measure G which represented the first step in updating and improving Glendora schools. That bond modernized Glendora High School, Williams, and La Fetra Elementary Schools; and constructed a new community Event Center and aquatic facility. The Independent Citizens’ Committee audited expenditures and fully supports Measure G.”

Mark Lamoureux, Glendorans for K.I.D.S.

Join parents, teachers, community members, business leaders, and your neighbors in support of Measure G. For our school children, our communities, our property values, please vote YES on Measure G.
