GCCCD's Construction Bond Program
The Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District’s (GCCCD) construction bond program,
funded by voter-approved Proposition V, a $398 million bond passed in 2012, is providing for the dramatic transformations
of the Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges into state-of-the-art sites of higher learning.
Proposition V will provide for upgrades to career training facilities for science, medical, public
safety and other in-demand fields. Technology upgrades will be made throughout the
District in classrooms, libraries and sciences labs. Under Proposition V, a Veterans
Support Center will be built on each campus, and access for persons with disabilities
or mobility issues will be enhanced at all facilities.
Proposition V projects will adhere to the GCCCD Facilities Master Plan, which outlines four key areas for facilities planning:
- Provide long-range guidance for the development of new facilities that will be needed to support the projected academic program of instruction and support services;
- Identify the needs for refurbishment, repair or replacement of existing facilities that will be needed to support current academic programs of instruction and support services;
- Include and integrate current construction and maintenance plans; and
- Describe the District’s plans for environmental sustainability.
The Facilities Funding Plan provides a list of future projects, as well as their estimated costs and funding sources.
Laws governing the passages of Propositions V require strict accountability for the
spending of taxpayer funds. The District’s independent Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC) provides thorough public oversight through annual independent program and financial
audits and a detailed annual report highlighting program progress and to-date expenditure
status.
