Showing improvement at MJUSD school sites
Did You Know that MJUSD hosted a State of the Schools Bus Tour and Dinner on Thursday night? This was the first of its kind event where 55 attendees, community and business leaders, came together to visit our schools and talk and discuss about the growth in Yuba County and Marysville and the impact of that on MJUSD enrollment numbers and facilities.
It was wonderful to see the excitement that was on display regarding our schools. The guided bus tour was conducted by district administrators and the buses went to 16 schools. The new construction at Covillaud and Foothill schools and the locations for the new track and field facilities at Lindhurst and Marysville High Schools, generated a lot of conversations around the ongoing commitment to facilities improvements. We also shared a booklet that included all the work completed with the bond dollars prior to 2020 and the completed and in-progress projects between 20212025. Apart from the new Arboga school improvements that was partly funded by the 2006 and 2008 bond dollars, all other improvements since 2021 are from district general funds, which means there was no bond dollars involved. Almost 73 million dollars of upgrades have been completed or scheduled for completion between 2021-2025.
The event last night was a start of many more to come. The schools belong to the community so we encourage the community to roll up your sleeves and get engaged in improving our schools in every way. Our staff, teachers and administrators are all committed to our students’ success; we need your support to get to the next level. Our students deserve the best education in the best learning environment which includes clean and upgraded facilities. We are working hard to ensure that every school remains safe and secure.
Starting next week, on 93Q radio, you will get to listen to our Principals as they introduce their schools and programs. Tune in at 7 a.m. every Friday morning or watch the video on 93Q Facebook. It’s all about our schools, students and our phenomenal staff.
