Measure E successfully passed on March 5, 2024, authorizing the Woodside Elementary School District to issue $36 million in bonds. The initiative achieved the required 55% supermajority voter approval to fund critical infrastructure repairs, campus modernizations, and safety improvements. The bond proceeds strictly address aging facilities and compliance needs at Woodside Elementary School:

• Creek Stabilization: Repairing and stabilizing significant hillside erosion at the back of the campus caused by severe winter rains and flooding. (Summer 2027)
• Infrastructure Upgrades: Fixing leaking roofs and replacing outdated heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. (Summers 2026 & 2027)
• Classroom Modernization: Updating older learning spaces to meet modern educational standards and replacing/modernizing kindergarten and transitional kindergarten (TK) facilities to accommodate expanding state enrollment mandates. 
• Clean Energy: Installing solar panels and backup batteries to maintain school operations during local power shutdowns. 
• Replacing natural grass and artificial turf fields & upgrading all 3 playgrounds

Citizens Bond Oversight Committee
The WESD Citizens Bond Oversight Committee meets twice during the school year to review construction updates and financials on all of our Measure E Bond Program projects. Current member terms will be determined. This is an public meeting open to all community members.

We need you — ISO 1 new committee member!
We continue to search for a community member serving on a Taxpayer Organization to serve on this committee. If you are qualified and interested in this committee position, please contact Michelle. Click below to learn more about the CBOC. 

No Dogs on Campus
Please do not bring your dogs to campus at ANYTIME — including after-school sports teams/clubs using the WES field, weekends and summer break. This is a school policy and large signs are posted at the entrances to campus. We have had a significant problem with dog waste on our fields and campus. It is also important to provide a clean and safe environment for our students, especially those with allergies and animal fears. Please use our beautiful Woodside trails to walk your dogs. More information HERE. 

No E-Bikes & E-Scooters On Campus
This is a reminder that e-bikes, e-scooters or any electric vehicles are NOT allowed on the school campus AT ANY TIME. Have questions? We encourage families to attend the  WES Admin Talks on Tuesday, Sept. 2 evening at 6pm in the school library regarding E-bike education and safety. Info HERE.
