An investment in students, schools, and our community
 

 


Our district continues to grow and we are dedicated to providing safe, innovative, and supportive learning environments for all students. By working together, we can ensure that every student has the resources and surroundings they need to succeed.

Temple City Unified

Rated as one of the top 45 school districts in all of California, Temple City Unified School District (TCUSD) is located in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley. Our dedicated team of educators and staff is committed to providing a caring and supportive environment for our 5,300 students in pre-kindergarten through high school. While our neighborhood schools are among the best in the state academically, many of our facilities were built more than 70 years ago. Building health and safety standards have changed over these years, and we need to ensure safe, up-to-date schools and access for all students, including those with disabilities.

Local Funding to Improve Our  Schools — Without Raising Taxes

To address needed updates across all our schools and enhance the quality of education for our students, the district is considering placing a  $146 million school improvement bond on the November 2026 ballot to address Phase I of our School Facilities Master Plan.

BOND MEASURE 

Because state funding does not fully cover school facility repairs and modernization, school districts rely on local funding to maintain safe, modern learning environments. If approved by voters, funding from a bond measure could be used to repair and upgrade aging facilities, upgrade classroom technology, improve student safety and upgrade older classrooms. 

Without increasing existing tax rates, this proposed measure would extend the current rate previously approved by voters at $43 per $100,000 of a property’s assessed (not market) value while bonds are outstanding.

Mandatory Fiscal Accountability and Local Control

 

Both measures would include strict fiscal accountability provisions required by the State

Constitution. All funds would be controlled locally and cannot be taken by the State. An

independent citizens’ oversight committee and mandatory independent annual audits

would ensure all funds are spent on neighborhood schools.
