A message from Superintendent Carol Hansen to the OVSD community...I wish to send a heartfelt thank you to each of you for your contributions towards the passage of Measure R! We are incredibly grateful for your support of our students and our schools. This general obligation bond in the amount of $169 million is desperately needed. We can now move forward and begin the process of addressing our aging facilities to provide safe, comfortable learning environments for our students. I wish to acknowledge your ongoing commitment to the Ocean View School District. In the coming weeks I will continue our communication to employees, families and the community-at-large about the status of our next steps. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible!
