Bond

Woodland voters passed Measure Y in 2020 to improve schools and facilities. At the time, schools were shut down due to the pandemic. Undeterred, the District made strides in recovering from the impacts of the pandemic, finalizing Measure Y designs, approving construction plans, and building partnerships to improve school facilities.

The $44 million bond will make our schools safer, more secure, and more inviting while building even more community pride in our schools.

This includes:

✅ Security upgrades like new gates, fencing, and classroom door locks
✅ Revitalizing our schools with fresh paint
✅ Improving access points for safely picking up and dropping off students
✅ Improving ADA accessibility (Americans with Disability Act)

We're Building a Brighter Future Together!

Workers remove an old HVAC unit from the roof of Woodland High School on June 13, 2024. WJUSD is replacing old HVAC units at WHS with 14 new units as part of Measure Y school improvement projects this summer.

As summer school programs begin and preparations for the opening of next school year are in full swing, progress continues at Woodland Joint Unified School District as construction kicked off this month on Measure Y school improvement projects.

Our District broke ground on improvement projects at five schools this month, including a project to install 14 new, much-needed HVAC units at Woodland High School.

“We deeply appreciate our Woodland community for investing in our students and schools,” said Superintendent Elodia Ortega-Lampkin. “The $44 million Measure Y funds will make our schools safer, more secure, and more inviting while building even more community pride in our schools. We’re so excited for students and families to return in the fall and see their new improved schools.”

Construction is underway on Beamer, Dingle, and Gibson elementary schools and Cache Creek High School, with other schools to be upgraded in future phases.

While Measure Y funds are helping to improve school safety, there are more improvements identified by our District for schools and facilities.

“We have identified over $600 million in school facility improvement needs,” said Board President Rogelio Villagrana. “The $44 million in Measure Y funds is a good start toward addressing our school improvement needs and we're beginning by improving safety. Thank you to Woodland voters for supporting our students and community.”
