Measure H1 has evolved from the theater renovation that didn’t pass in 2014 but there are troubling similarities. A new board hired the same architect (QKA) who crafted uninspiring conceptual designs and focused mostly on renovations. Most voters felt the prior bond measure failed because the design ended up lacking in comparison to the new construction designs that nearby school districts had built. The design meetings in both cases were by invitation of the superintendent and without being recorded.
