About the Program

The Building Excellence III (Bex III) Capital Bond continues to work to replace or modernize district buildings, infrastructure and technology. The six year, $490 million bond replaces the expiring BEX II levy, which was approved in 2001.

More than a third of the 100 buildings in the District's current inventory are over 50 years old. A total of 24 schools will have been renovated or replaced between 1998 and 2008, funded by the BEX I and BEX II levies. These projects were completed based on the best practices in academics, construction, and the environment. In addition, 12 properties have been or will be sold. This leaves 37 buildings that were constructed before 1957. Many are in poor condition, have outdated and problematic plumbing, heating and ventilating systems, detriorated interior and exterior finishes, and limited flexibility to meet future education demands.

Proposition 1 approves a project to renovate or replace four high schools, two middle schools, and on K-8 school in addition to funding water and indoor air quality District-wide.
