Measure E Committee

The El Centro Elementary School District proudly serves the communities of El Centro and Imperial by providing educational programs to about 5,200 Tk through eighth-grade students at our eleven schools. On November 8, 2022, our community supported Measure “E” and the issuance of $17,495,000 in general obligation bonds to replace temporary portables with permanent classrooms; improve student access to computers and modern technology; modernize outdated classrooms, restrooms, and school facilities; and construct new school facilities to reduce student overcrowding.
 
The Governing Board of the El Centro Elementary School District has appointed an independent citizens’ oversight committee to oversee bond proceeds & expenditures, review audit reports, and ensure that spending is consistent with Measure “E” guidelines. Prop 39 requires that the Committee has at least seven members, with one member representing five different categories: business organization, senior citizen's organization, parent/guardian of ECESD student, an active member of a parent-teacher organization, and parent/guardian of a student of ECESD, active in a bona fide taxpayer's organization and citizen's at large.
