Voters approve Measures H and J
Campbell voters passed Measure H to renovate and repair 13 elementary and middle schools in the Campbell Union School District. The measure was approved by 66.9 percent of the voters, with only 33.1 percent voting against it.
The bond will raise $298 million for CUSD, allowing the district to continue improving its campuses. It will cost property owners about $29 a year per $100,000 of assessed property value.
Voters also approved Measure J by a two-thirds majority, which will raise $35 million to improve schools in the Moreland School District. Three schools--Leroy Anderson Village, Easterbrook School and Moreland Discovery School--will finally get much-needed facelifts. These schools have not been upgraded since they were built more than 35 years ago.
