The Alameda County Registrar of Voters have officially certified the results for the November 8 election, reporting that Pleasanton voters have approved the PUSD Measure I bond initiative. 

Measure I passed with 57.20% of the vote. It needed 55% to win.

“I would like to extend my gratitude to the Pleasanton community for their investment in our students and the future of our school district facilities. Our team intends to “hit the ground running” with Measure I, to maximize the impact of this community investment,” said PUSD Superintendent David Haglund. 

With Measure I officially approved, the $395 million bond is expected to pay for school facility improvements in and around the district. Gym and theater projects at Amador Valley and Foothill high schools, new classrooms at Vintage Hills Elementary, and other projects are expected to start as soon as possible with district planning currently in the works. 

“The change is here. I can not wait to see what the future holds for both our students and our community,” said Gyan Bhambani (‘23). 

Measure I co-chairs, Todd Utikal and Bill Butler, have celebrated the achievement and will oversee the operational and leadership standpoint of the Measure and its projects from this point forward. 

“We look forward to recognizing the remarkable efforts of the Measure I Committee in the new year. Our staff, students, and entire community owe these “Champions of Change” a huge debt of gratitude,” said Haglund. 

Ultimately, Bond Measure I has the potential to revolutionize the state of education in Alameda County. With hope on the horizon, students, teachers, and administrators around PUSD envision a brighter future where Pleasanton school campuses reflect the people that embody them.
