Thanks to our generous community support, Measure K, a Proposition 39 general obligation bond, was approved by the voters residing within the boundaries of Pollock Pines Elementary School District (PPESD) on June 5, 2012, with 61.87% approval. Passage of the Measure authorized the District to issue $9,000,000 in bonds. The improvements from this bond will be completed to serve the students in grades K-8 at Pinewood Elementary, Sierra Ridge Middle School, and Emigrant Trail Educational Center.
The question on the ballot of Measure K was: "To improve the quality of local education, make health, safety/handicapped accessibility improvements, improve energy efficiency, modernize outdated classrooms, restrooms/libraries, replace temporary portables with permanent classrooms, replace outdated heating, ventilation/air conditioning systems, improve technology, upgrade electrical systems, shall Pollock Pines Elementary School District acquire, construct, repair, equip school facilities/sites by issuing $9,000,000 of bonds at legal rates, with independent citizens' oversight and NO money used for administrative or teacher salaries or be taken by the State?"
