Bonds and Overrides
At Union Elementary School District, we are committed to providing our students with the best possible educational environment. This commitment extends to ensuring that our facilities, resources, and programs are top-notch, safe, and conducive to learning. Bonds and overrides are crucial tools that help us achieve these goals.
What Are Bonds?
Bonds are a form of long-term borrowing that allows school districts to fund large capital projects. These projects include constructing new schools, renovating existing facilities, upgrading technology infrastructure, and enhancing safety measures. By investing in bonds, the community helps us create modern, well-equipped learning spaces that inspire and empower our students to pursue their goals and dreams.
What Are Overrides?
Overrides are voter-approved measures that provide additional funding for school district operational expenses. These expenses can include hiring and retaining high-quality, caring staff, supporting extracurricular programs, reducing class sizes, and ensuring that students have access to the resources they need for academic success and well-being. Overrides allow Union ESD to maintain and enhance the quality of education that our students deserve.
Recent Bond and Override Measures
In recent years, Union ESD has successfully passed bond and override measures thanks to the generous support of our community. These measures have enabled us to:

Your Support Matters
The success of our bonds and overrides relies on the continued support of our community.

Every dollar raised through bonds and overrides goes directly towards enhancing the educational experience and well-being of our students.
