Vote Yes on H to repair Colfax High School with locally controlled funds that cannot be taken away or diverted to other communities.
We are fortunate to have a great local high school here in Colfax. In 2023, Colfax High School had a 100% graduation rate. Although our students achieve at high levels, Colfax High School was built over 60 years ago and is in need of urgent repairs and safety upgrades.
Roofs are leaking, walls are decaying, gas lines, plumbing, and bathrooms are deteriorating, hazardous materials like asbestos and lead paint need to be removed, and access for students with disabilities needs to be improved. Our region has felt the impacts of wildfires over the last few years and Colfax High School is right in a fire zone and fire safety improvements are needed to keep students safe.
Measure H will provide local funding to:
● Maintain safe drinking water
● Repair leaky roofs, aging electrical systems, gas and sewer lines, plumbing, and bathrooms
● Ensure EVERY student learns in classrooms that are clean and safe
● Upgrade science, math, computer, and engineering labs
● Reduce wildfire risk
● Replace aging and deteriorating portable classrooms
Locally Controlled Funding & Fiscal Accountability
● All funds must be used for Colfax High School only and cannot be used for other schools
● Measure H will help Colfax High School qualify for state matching funds that would otherwise go to schools in other communities
● A detailed project list and public disclosure of all spending is required
● An independent citizens' oversight committee and mandatory annual audits ensure all funds are spent as promised
