Interim Facilities Master Plan 2023-24
The Lafayette School District seeks to maintain excellent, modern school facilities in order to support its educational mission. As part of the 2016 bond, the district conducted a facilities assessment to identify areas of need. As the bond draws to a close, the District has updated its facilities assessment and created an "Interim Facilities Plan" for the use of its limited one-time facilities revenue in the coming several years. In June 2023, the Governing Board approved an Interim Facilities Plan and funding for a first tranche of new projects, including roof repair, kitchen upgrades at Burton Valley, HVAC replacement, painting, and interior lighting.
2016 Measure C Facilities Bond
On June 7, 2016, the voters of Lafayette approved Measure C, a $70 million General Obligation Bond. The District closed out the bond on June 30, 2025. Measure C paid for new classrooms and general modernization as follows:
- Repair or replace leaky roofs, and old, deteriorated plumbing, sewer, heating, ventilation, lighting and electrical systems.
- Upgrade technology infrastructure to keep pace with 21st century teaching and learning.
