District Governance

The Board of Trustees is responsible for making all decisions concerning the allocation of district funds with the advice of the district's administration, teachers, staff, and community members and within the limits, laws, and guidelines of state of California and the United States.
Measure E and Recent Controversy
Measure E passed in November 2002 with 68.3% of the vote. The bond measure provided $20,750,000 for repairs and refurbishing of district schools and funds for the construction of a new middle school. The bond measure replaced an expiring bond used to construct North Monterey County High School thus caused only minimal increases in property taxes. The district ordered the modular classrooms and had begun leveling and altering the terrain to build a new middle school when the district learned that the site was too close to the high voltage power lines. The district had no new middle school and less than $900,000 in available funds. NMCUSD recently decided to expand its current middle school site, the converted former Joseph Gambetta Middle School, by adding the portables the district had already purchased.
Parents have voiced their discontent at school board meetings and asked questions concerning the spending of Measure E funds. The engineering firm Modtech filed a lawsuit against NMCUSD for $69,000 on March 29, 2007 The teachers went on a “sick out” strike in late March to lobby for higher wages before a deal was agreed to in April. The district also faces budgetary problems due to the short term California wide decline in student enrollment.
