Bond Information

School Construction & Modernization Bonds
At Visalia Unified, we’ve put voter approved bond measures to work to improve and expand our schools. Thanks to the support of our community. Our Facilities team, alongside an independent Bond Oversight Committee, ensures every dollar is used responsibly.
