School Bond: Measure A

FAQ

  • School bonds are a type of funding mechanism that allows school districts to raise money for large-scale capital projects, such as building new schools, renovating existing facilities, or purchasing land and equipment. These bonds function as long-term loans that the school district takes out and pays back over time.

  • The Heber School District is required to form a Bond Oversight Committee to assist in reviewing the expenditures associated with Measure A funds. The committee’s role is to ensure that bond funds are utilized in the manner intended by voters.  In addition, the oversight committee helps inform the community of expenditures made with Measure A funds. The committee meets four times per year at a regularly scheduled interval. All meetings are posted 72 hours in advance, in accordance with the Brown Act, and members of the public are encouraged to participate.
