Aging high school needs repairs and upgrades
Fallbrook High School was built nearly 70 years ago and is in need of major repairs in order to continue providing a quality education to local students. Aging facilities need to be upgraded to meet current academic, ADA, and safety standards including removing hazardous materials such as lead pipes and asbestos that were used at the time of construction.
Over the past two years, FUHSD completed a comprehensive assessment of FUHSD facilities and developed a Facility Master Plan to prioritize facility repairs and upgrades. Classrooms and labs need to be modernized with updated academic technology to ensure students are prepared for college and careers.
local funding for school improvements
To provide safe and modern high school classrooms and facilities, the FUHSD Board of Trustees voted to place Measure BB, a $56 million facilities bond measure, on the November 2024 ballot. Measure BB would have cost approximately $24 per $100,000 of a property's assessed value (not market value) while bonds are outstanding, or about $126 per year for the typical homeowner in Fallbrook. Measure BB was not passed by local voters. Measure BB would have:
- Provided classrooms, facilities and technology needed to support high-quality instruction in math, science, engineering and technology
- Repaired or replace deteriorating roofs, plumbing, heating & ventilation, gas lines, sewer lines and electrical systems where needed
- Upgraded and repaired physical education and sports facilities to support student health and safety
- Kept computer systems and instructional technology up to date
- Created modern, multi-use classrooms to support hands-on science instruction as well as health science, AG science, robotics and skilled trades programs
