What is a GO Bond?

 
California school districts commonly use GO bonds to fund improvement projects, such as constructing and renovating classrooms. Similar to a home loan, GO bonds are repaid over time. Funds to repay the bonds come from a tax on all taxable property—residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural—located within our District.
 

How much will Measure P cost?

 
Measure P ‘s estimated average annual tax rate is less than $58 per $100,000 of assessed valuation. Assessed valuation should not be confused with market value. The assessed valuation is the value placed on property by Yolo or Sutter County and is typically lower than market value.
 

What taxpayer protections are in place?

 
Measure P ensures that there will be full public disclosure of all spending. An independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee must review and report on all bond expenditures, and a third-party auditor must audit all bond expenditures. Measure P includes a specific list of projects on which bond funds may be spent. Laws prohibit funds from being used for administrators’ salaries, pensions or benefits. Measure P bond funds must be spent on Woodland Joint Unified School District’s projects and cannot be taken by the state.
