2016 Bond Program

Proposition A 2016 Bond Program

In November 2016, San Franciscans approved Proposition A, a $744 million general obligation bond (ballot) to fund repairs, and maintenance to SFUSD facilities. The bond also allows SFUSD to construct new schools and make seismic upgrades to existing facilities.

In October 2021, the Board of Education approved a partial reallocation of 2016 Bond funds, to shift project prioritization in keeping with current Board goals and policies.

All bond funds were sold in three (3) sales: $180 million in 2017, $280 million in 2020, and $284.25 million in 2022.
