Your Support of Measure U Counts!

 

Here is Why

Measure U will breathe new life into our Truckee schools – strong schools are the foundation of a strong community. For our kids, for our community, for Truckee’s future.

Why Now?

Truckee High’s old buildings need structural, technological and environmental upgrades.
Athletic and play facilities are inadequate for league, student and community sports. With no track, athletes train on Donner Pass Road or travel to Reno.
Vocational education, media and technology resources are crowded and outdated.
Elementary school traffic congestion causes safety hazards and delays.
Our schools are nearly full and enrollment is projected to increase in all Truckee schools over the next 7 years!

What “U” Will Do!


Modern New Classroom Wing for THS with expansion area for future classrooms*


Better infrastructure for all students
  • Move 22% of students from 1985 portables into new classrooms.
  • Reinforce unsafe buildings to increase snow load capacity.
  • Implement “green” building strategies for improved energy


    • Vocational education and media
  • Build smart classrooms with high-speed WIFI for campus computer use.
  • Rebuild the Career-Tech wing and expand Vocational Education to teach practical skills, such as Carpentry, Construction, and Fire Science.
  • Create a state-of-the-art library/media center.


    • New Athletic Complex for school programs, league events and our community
  • Build a modern stadium with grandstands, concession stands, restrooms, scorer’s booth and sports storage – including handicap access.
  • Install high-quality synthetic turf for football, soccer and other sports.
  • Build a regulation track and facility.


    • Improvements for Truckee Elementary School and Sierra Mountain (former Middle School)
  • Provide safe, access to the school for children, parents and visitors by improving circulation and parking.
  • Expand the hard court and synthetic turf playing areas.
  • Prepare Sierra Mountain Middle School to serve elementary students, when Truckee and Glenshire elementary schools exceed capacity.

    • *Please note: due to the construction project plan, the current District Office will be torn down to create space for the new wing. For a period of time, the District Office will be housed on the second floor of the new wing until new offices adjacent to Sierra Mountain are built. The new District Offices are not part of this bond measure and will be funded separately. Please refer to the school site renderings for specific location information.

    The Tahoe Truckee School District has great teachers, parents, students and community support. These are all ingredients necessary to ensure an outstanding education system. An ingredient that is missing is quality facilities for several of the Truckee schools. Truckee High School and Truckee Elementary School are in dire need of upgrading and updating. We owe it to the students and staff to provide up-to-date, safe and comfortable facilities. Measure U will accomplish this.
