Build Our School Now- CUSD

This site collects a variety of useful and interesting information about the Cabrillo Unified School District.

Facilities Master Plan

The district's Facilities Master Plan was adopted in February 1996. Even though the plan itself requires an annual public hearing and review, our school board has not once held such a hearing.

Building a Middle School

A $35 million bond (Measure K) was approved by the CUSD voters in 1996. Part of the proceeds was to have been used to build a new middle school. While enrollment has fallen since then, our middle school at Cunha is still in need of rebuilding.
