2026 Bond
Temple City Unified
Rated as one of the top 45 school districts in all of California, Temple City Unified School District (TCUSD) is located in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley. Our dedicated team of educators and staff is committed to providing a caring and supportive environment for our 5,300 students in pre-kindergarten through high school. While our neighborhood schools are among the best in the state academically, many of our facilities were built more than 70 years ago. Building health and safety standards have changed over these years, and we need to ensure safe, up-to-date schools and access for all students, including those with disabilities.
Because state funding does not fully cover school facility repairs and modernization,
school districts rely on local funding to maintain safe, modern learning environments. If approved by voters, funding from these bond measures could be used for the below two measures.
Measure 1: Essential Repairs and Updates
Repair/Upgrade Aging School Facilities: Repair roofs, plumbing, sewer, and electrical
systems and remove asbestos and lead.
Update Classroom Technology: Upgrade classrooms and labs for science, math, arts,
engineering, and technology instruction, and provide career technical facilities.
The TCUSD Repair and Update Measure would simply extend the current tax rate of
$43 per $100,000 of a property’s assessed value (not market value) per year while bonds
are outstanding, and would generate $146 million focused on priority school repairs and
updates — without increasing tax rates.
Measure 2: Safety and Technology Improvements
Improve Student Safety: Improve campus safety and security, including fencing, locks,
cameras, alarms, smoke detectors, and emergency communication systems; upgrade
older classrooms to meet health, safety codes and seismic and accessibility standards;
and keep computer systems up to date.
The TCUSD Safety and Technology Measure would cost property owners $15 per $100,000 of a
property’s assessed value (not market value) per year while bonds are outstanding, and would
generate $50 million focused on school safety, security, and technology updates.

Mandatory Fiscal Accountability and Local Control
Both measures would include strict fiscal accountability provisions required by the State
Constitution. All funds would be controlled locally and cannot be taken by the State. An
independent citizens’ oversight committee and mandatory independent annual audits
would ensure all funds are spent on neighborhood schools.
