Measure X, G-2010 & G-2004

Spring 2017 Newsletter

This is a semi‐annual email newsletter to help inform our San José • Evergreen Community College District community of the District’s progress on the implementation of the voter‐approved bond measures. The improvements made possible by these bond measures have allowed us to continue our mission to assist students in achieving their educational and employment goals.

Thank you for your support of Measure X!

The San José · Evergreen Community College District would like to thank the residents of our community for the strong vote of confidence in the District and in San José City College and Evergreen Valley College!

These bond measures support the district’s efforts toward upgrading its facilities, constructing energy-efficient, technology-driven, classrooms and labs, upgrading outdated electrical, plumbing, heating/ventilation systems, and working toward achieving maximum efficiency, both in our teaching environments and in the infrastructure that supports those environments. The improvements made possible by these voter-supported bond measures have allowed us to continue our mission to assist students in achieving their educational and employment goals.

Along with this opportunity, comes responsibility. The District is committed to responsible stewardship of all bond funds. Measures X, G-2010, and G-2004 adhere to all accountability standards governing the management of a Proposition 39 bond program. A Citizen’s Bond Oversight Committee, comprised of members of the community, provides oversight. The oversight committee reviews all bond expenditures to ensure alignment with the ballot text.

Volunteers Needed!

The San José • Evergreen Community College District is actively seeking volunteer members for the Measure X, G-2010 & G-2004 Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee.
