Measure B

Recently we had a report from our Citizens Advisory Committee -- certainly a routine matter.  And it was well done and and informative -- No suprise as we have great folks helping us out that committee.  What WAS a surprise to me and very non-routine was a very interesting factoid.  In reviewing the Measure B funds that have been allocated and raised by this community, we have spent $106 million to do many projects.  What is pretty unusual is that we have a 3:1 effect ...that is for every dollar raised through Measure B we have had $3 in capital improvements.  This has been done by leveraging the Measure B funds with State and other monies that are available.  Congratulations to our staff from smart use of our funds for the benefit of our students and community.  In you are interested in the entire report you can find it on our website:  http://www.rusdmeasureb.org/documents/2008AnnualCOCReport.pdf.
