Measure G Projects
The voters of the Georgetown Divide passed Measure G, the Black Oak Mine Unified School District facilities bond with 62.45% of the vote on November 7, 2006. The $6.9 million general obligation bond is to be used solely to improve, repair and upgrade facilities at Golden Sierra High School, Georgetown School and Northside School. Improvements will focus on safety and infrastructure, and include instructional improvements, most notably in science and technology classrooms. The District also utilized approximately $5 million of funding from the State of California to support this modernization and construction of school facilities.
