In 2016, Moraga voters approved Measure V, a $33 million bond benefitting the Moraga School District; these monies are intended exclusively for repairs and improvements to the four aging school properties. Some work has been done during the past two summer breaks but most of the major projects, including improving the classrooms to make them more pleasant, safe and productive for children, will be performed over the next two years.
The spending of Measure V funds is closely watched by the 13-member Citizen's Bond Oversight Committee, comprised of a cross-section of Moraga residents. Their responsibility is to make sure all bond monies are spent only as the voters intended.
This Committee meets on a regular basis to review the projects and budgets. The next meeting is scheduled at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 4 at the Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School Library, and the public is invited - and encouraged - to attend. The architect and construction manager for the next phase will be there, showcasing design and development plans. This is a great opportunity for the community to take a look at the designs and comment or ask questions.
