Current Goal: World Class Facilities Measure “BB” will begin the process of building
world class facilities for all students $268 million construction bond passed in 2006 The Board of Education approved a draft of a
facilities master plan, selected a program management firm, and determined priorities of initial school construction projects
Architectural design work commences immediately Construction starts in 2008
Current Goal: World Class Facilities SMMUSD’s Bond Rating has improved from
Aa3 to Aa2, lowering interest payments and allowing us to get more construction out of our bond dollars.
Reasons for bond upgrade: Strong tax base in our cities Significant improvement in district finances High Level of Community Support
California’s Education Funding Per-pupil spending in California’s schools has
dropped nearly every year since the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, and is currently well below the national average.
SMMUSD’S Extraordinary Funding 11,900 students in Santa
Monica - Malibu Unified School District, with 24.7% participation in free or reduced lunch program
$5,627.83 per student per year from CA – about $1,000 less than the national average
Approximately additional $2,500 per student per year received from local sources

Where Does Local Funding Come From? Parcel taxes approved by 2/3 majority of Santa Monica &
Malibu voters Measure “S” – $6.43M per year Measure “Y” – $4M per year with COLA Both measures up for renewal in February 2008
Joint Use agreements with our two cities City of Santa Monica – $7M per year with COLA City of Malibu – $380,000 per year
Combined PTA Council & Unit contributions of volunteer time & dollars adds another $4 - $5M per year. 15% of financial donations to PTA goes to the SMMUSD Equity Fund, primarily providing intervention and support to struggling and socio-economically disadvantaged students.
Measures S & Y Allow for Smaller Class Size A minimum of 30 additional middle and high
school teachers are funded by Measures S and Y The cost for this is $2.1 million Class size is approximately 30:1 in middle and high school
(compared to 40:1 at LAUSD) Class size would increase to approximately 33:1 without
Measures S and Y
K-3 classes are all at 20:1 or less Although the state provides a grant for this, it is still an
additional cost to the district. Measures S and Y pay for a minimum of 23 additional K-3
teachers, at a minimal cost of $1.9 million
Local Funding Provides Critical Programs Elementary Music Program
Is one of the nation’s finest and most accessible Is not offered by all school districts Is taught by credentialed teachers at an annual cost of
approximately $1.1 million Provides lifelong learning and promotes excellence in
secondary music programs
Physical Education at a time when many schools in the state are canceling recess . . . Provides PE in every elementary school to promote healthy
students Employs specialists at each school to direct children’s activities
… And Many Other Essential Resources Libraries - Measures S and Y contribute at least
$1.2 million to library programs Nurses - National recommended ratio is 1 nurse
for every 750 students; California average is 1:2,500; SMMUSD is 1: 1,100
Technology - 7 Tech Support Employees hired after Measure Y passed
Counselors - California Average is 1:500; SMMUSD has 1:250 to 1:350
