As the communities in Folsom and Rancho Cordova expand, Folsom Cordova
Unified School District is preparing to meet the demands for more schools and
better educational programs.

South of Highway 50 Planning
Per Measure W, which was approved by Folsom voters in 2004, a
plan to fund new schools within the
Folsom Cordova Unified School District must be submitted to the school district
so that existing schools are not overcrowded as a result of any development.
Folsom residents north of Highway 50 cannot be required to pay for any new
schools.
The District is planning seven elementary schools (K-5), two middle schools,
and one high school.
In a proactive move to
begin financing schools for the anticipated future growth of the District, the
Folsom Cordova Unified Board of Education unanimously approved the formation of
a School Facilities Improvement District (SFID) 3 (Folsom and Rancho Cordova
Growth) and a $750 million general obligation bond, Measure M. The
Board’s action resulted in a general obligation bond election on November 7,
2006 for registered voters in the SFID—which encompasses the areas of Folsom,
Rancho Cordova, and Sacramento County south of highway 50. The intent of the
SFID is to utilize state funding and developer fees through $750 million in
bonds for the construction of new elementary, middle, and high schools,
libraries, computer labs, support facilities, land acquisition, and acquisition
of equipment and computer technology. This measure failed by two votes on the
November ballot, and due to ballot mailing errors by the Registrar of Voters
Office, the District will be holding a new election for Measure M in March 2007.
