Measure C Projects

The Manhattan Beach Unified School District is celebrating the successful conclusion of its Measure C and Measure EE local bond programs. On November 8, 2016, the voters of
Manhattan Beach approved these two bond measures, providing the District with $153M in facilities funding.
 
Measure C was the $114 million measure that was used primarily at MBUSD elementary schools to improve infrastructure (including completing air conditioning for all classrooms), replacing the Ladera campus at Grand View, and making improvements to each elementary site, based on the Facilities Master Plan developed by the District in 2015.
 
The District is grateful to the Manhattan Beach community for making these improvements possible and is recently updated its comprehensive 2024 Facilities Master Plan to identify
the next phase of needed improvements at local schools.
Since the approval of the bond measures, MBUSD has used this funding to:
  •  Construct the 71,200 square-foot Mira Costa Athletic Complex, replacing the original
     65-year-old gym
  • Construct the new music building at Manhattan Beach Middle School
  • Construct the new 3-story Multi-Purpose Building at Grand View Elementary
  • Construct two new 2-story classroom buildings at Pennekamp Elementary and Grand View Elementary, replacing some of the aging portable classroom buildings on those campuses
  • Install a solar panel array at the new Mira Costa Athletic Complex
  • Revise, enlarge, and improve parking lots at Meadows Elementary, Pennekamp Elementary, and Grand View Elementary
  • Construct two new fields and a new playground at Grand View Elementary
  • Modernize classrooms at all five elementary schools, including 
    • The installation of air conditioning in all classrooms
    • The installation of new vinyl floor surfaces in all classrooms
    •  Improvements to storefront and casework in all classrooms
    •  Upgrades to campus infrastructures at all elementary schools
    •  Update the infrastructure and provide classroom air conditioning at MB Preschool
    •  Provide ADA accessibility upgrades at all sites
    •  Replace and repair roofs at buildings throughout the District
    • Provide new security fencing at all campuses
