San Leandro Unified School District Obligation Bond Measures A, B, M

Completed in 2015, this eight-year, $212 million Capital Improvement Program was design to enhance educational outcomes with new and modernized arts, athletic, and academic facilities for the students of the San Leandro Unified School District.
