Upgrades at Beasley Elementary School, 3131 Koch Road, include a secure entry vestibule, four restroom fixtures to bring it into ADA compliance, outdoor lighting, additional restrooms, additional parking, roof work, HVAC work and widening the entry road to the school.
The COPs were issued from Proposition P, a 49-cent ballot measure approved by voters in 2000 that was aimed at facilities but was an operational tax-rate increase. Today, the district levies about 45 cents from Prop P and, with the COPs being slated to be paid off, the 45 cents can be used for operations or facilities without increasing the current tax rate.
With Prop S, the district will ask voters to funnel 12 cents of the 45-cent levy into a $35 million facility investment. The district will transfer the remaining 33 cents toward operations.
Other priority projects identified include $7.3 million in HVAC upgrades, $5.6 million in “other,” $2.8 million in restrooms, $2.7 million in roofing, $1.9 million in ADA compliance, $900,000 in parking upgrades and $2.2 million in contingency funds for projects awaiting estimates.
An additional $5.5 million from the Proposition R, Proposition A and Capital 410 funds will also be used.
Below is a list of needs identified at each of the district’s facilities toured by the Facilities Steering Committee:
