Proposition 416 Information

The Sunnyside Unified School District is asking voters to consider a bond initiative, Proposition 416, this November through a vote by mail election.

Proposition 416 will provide funding for the following:

Construction, renovation and modernization of all 21 school sites and grounds including Sunnyside High School building replacements
Critical safety and security improvements
Athletic and Fine Arts facility upgrades
Replacement and upgrades of structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, roofing systems
Classroom technology, furniture and equipment
Student transportation vehicles

The Sunnyside Unified School District Governing Board has called a special bond election to provide for increased safety, security, modernization and new construction projects within the District. Existing District facilities are aging and require significant improvements and systems replacement, the cost of which well exceeds the funding provided by the State. The only realistic mechanism to obtain enough funding to make the necessary repairs, complete planned renovations, is through the bond election process.

The estimated total cost of the bond projects is $120,000,000.

The Sunnyside School District recognizes its responsibility to protect the taxpayers’ investment. The District believes that the bond will protect and enhance the property value of our community, our schools, and our neighborhoods With this level of authorization, the District would have the funding to ensure that our students are provided with a safe and effective learning environment that is conducive to a first-rate student experience and high levels of success for years to come.
