Prop. 2 Capital and Technology Levy Projects
Proposed Levy Projects for Local Schools
Our school buildings are aging, and just like our own homes, major systems and infrastructure need to be replaced or upgraded.
Investing in the maintenance of our buildings, systems, and infrastructure:
- Ensures a safe and healthy learning environment
- Protects the community’s investment
- Prevents escalating costs
- Supports modern learning needs
- Source of community pride and enhances property values
- Compliance with Clean Buildings Act




Years Covered: 2027–2030
Total Proposed Funding: $18 million over four years
The Capital & Technology Levy is a local funding measure that helps the Dieringer School District maintain and improve its school buildings while also supporting up-to-date classroom technology. Unlike a bond, which is used for large-scale construction projects such as new schools or major additions and is repaid over many years, this levy provides short-term funding collected over four years to address ongoing maintenance, safety, and modernization needs.
Levy funds are used to protect the community’s investment in our schools, ensuring buildings remain safe, efficient, and welcoming places to learn. This includes upgrades such as:
- Roof, lighting, plumbing, and HVAC replacements
- Security systems, fire/life safety integration, and secure entryways
- Playground and field improvements
- Energy-efficient systems and building updates to meet accessibility and safety standards
- Classroom and staff technology, including devices, software, interactive displays, and network infrastructure
Investing in preventive maintenance allows the district to avoid more costly emergency repairs, extend the lifespan of facilities, and comply with state Clean Building Act requirements. These improvements directly support physical safety and security for students and staff while also contributing to emotional well-being by creating clean, bright, and comfortable learning environments. When schools are safe, well-maintained, and inviting, students and staff feel a stronger sense of belonging and are more ready to learn.
Building Condition Assessment Study Informed the Capital Levy Projects
The district partnered with McKinstry to complete a third-party Strategic Facility Planning assessment of our school buildings. This assessment gave the district a clear, data-driven understanding of current facility needs and long-term capital priorities. In total, 534 building assets were evaluated, and nearly 30% were found to be in fair to unsatisfactory condition. McKinstry also flagged 30 high-priority assets for replacement—systems that affect building condition, energy use, and occupant comfort.
This thorough, third-party analysis provided a clear roadmap for responsible, prioritized investments—helping the district shape a capital levy that addresses the most critical safety, building integrity, and operational needs
