EVERY student deserves to LEARN in a school with safe, updated facilities. Measure U will help make that possible in Dixon elementary, middle and high schools.

Today's graduates must compete in a highly technical workforce and global economy. We need schools with adequate classrooms, labs, and technology so Dixon students have the same opportunities as others to properly prepare for college and good-paying jobs.

Unfortunately, most of our schools were built so long ago (60 to 70 years) that underground pipes and infrastructure are failing, resulting in gas leaks, water leaks, and sewage backups.

Last year alone there were 62 roof leaks.

There are 61 portable classrooms in our schools that are 20+ years old. Many are falling apart, with structural damage and water leaks. It's expensive to keep repairing these decaying portables.

Measure U will:

Remove hazardous materials like asbestos and lead pipes from older school sites, where encountered
Repair/Replace heating, air conditioning, ventilation units that are at least 20 years old, and failing
Repair/Replace deteriorating roofs, plumbing, gas lines, sewer lines, HVAC, and electrical systems where needed
Upgrade older schools so they meet current health codes, building safety codes, and provide proper access for students with disabilities
Provide modern labs and career technical education facilities and equipment so students are prepared for college and in-demand careers in fields like health sciences, engineering, technology, and skilled trades
Keep computer systems, instructional technology up-to-date

Taxpayer protections are REQUIRED.

ALL funds STAY LOCAL for DUSD schools/students
