Measure K
Ojai Unified School District has been providing dedicated educational services to local children for over six decades and currently educates approximately 2,340 students at its nine schools.
It is the hard work and commitment of our teachers and staff that directly contribute to the success of our children. However, studies show that students and teachers perform better in safe, modern classrooms and facilities, and that excellent teaching and learning are directly related to quality school facilities.
Faced with aging classrooms and the need to bring school facilities up to current standards, the Ojai Unified School District Trustees unanimously approved Measure K, a general obligation bond measure for the November 3, 2020 ballot, and our community overwhelmingly supported the bond.
