ABOUT MEASURE D

With highly qualified teachers, small class sizes and challenging academic programs, Bacich Elementary and Kent Middle School are among the best in Marin County and in California. Our outstanding schools protect property values for everyone–not just those with kids in schools.

Thanks to our excellent programs, enrollment has grown by 239 students since 2009—an increase of over 20%. Student enrollment will continue to increase, and our schools are already being pushed beyond their capacity and relying on portables, threatening the quality of our educational programs. Bacich Elementary was built for 427 students but now houses over 700.

Our schools also need repairs and upgrades to ensure safe and modern learning environments for students. Classrooms and technology infrastructure need to be upgraded to support a modern education. Outdated electrical, heating and ventilation systems are inefficient and costly to operate.

Specifically, YES on D will:

• Add classrooms to relieve student overcrowding

• Replace outdated heating, ventilation and electrical systems for efficiency and savings

• Make accessibility upgrades for students with disabilities to restrooms, playgrounds and school facilities

• Upgrade instructional technology, science classrooms and electrical infrastructure to support modern education

Financial Oversight Is Required by Law:

• All funds stay under local control and are dedicated to our schools and facilities—nothing can be diverted for other purposes

• Independent citizens’ oversight and annual audits are required to ensure that funds are spent as promised

• No funds can be used for administrator salaries

We have great schools in Kentfield. Measure D will relieve overcrowding and make needed repairs and upgrades to Kentfield schools, ensuring that our students receive an exemplary, 21st century education and keeping our schools among the best in the state and the nation.
