"This month, the district's facilities department is expected to present a draft of its facilities master plan, a document produced every five to 10 years that assesses each of the district's properties, analyzes enrollment trends and other demographics, and identifies maintenance and modernization needs. That plan will lay the groundwork for the district's next facilities bond, which could appear on the ballot in 2028."
"A subsequent bond, Measure Y, approved by voters that November, raised $735 million. Those dollars have been directed to repairs across the district as well as major renovations at McClymonds High School ($91 million), Roosevelt Middle School ($90.5 million), Garfield Elementary ($56.7 million), Coliseum College Prep Academy ($55 million) and the central administration building ($62 million - over the $57 million budgeted)."
Oakland Unified School District faces a large operating deficit while preparing a multimillion-dollar capital plan for upgrades and revenue-generating uses. The facilities department will present a draft facilities master plan this month; the plan, produced every five to ten years, assesses properties, enrollment trends, demographics, and maintenance and modernization needs. The plan will inform the next facilities bond, potentially on the 2028 ballot. The 2020 plan identified over $3 billion in needs across 108 sites; Measure Y raised $735 million and funded major renovations, repairs, and smaller upgrades. A vacant-property analysis aims to guide board decisions by June on long-term uses.
