DUBLIN, CA The Dublin Unified School District got good news Wednesday in its quest to fund major school construction projects and overcome a projected shortfall of at least $184 million.
The state Board of Education gave a green light to the school district s plan to sell $290 million in Measure J general obligation bonds. It approved a waiver of the district s debt limit, which restricts the amount of new debt the district can incur to finance school modernization and construction. The shortfall was first revealed in a January community notice.

A plan that will boost infrastructure projects throughout the state. When Gov. Doug Burgum signed HB 1431, he said it will touch all of North Dakota, not only through its targeted projects but also by freeing up dollars for projects in smaller communities. He also said putting dollars into bond projects is timely because of low interest rates.
The most expensive will be the Fargo flood diversion project ($435 million). It’s good to fund flood mitigation projects, since it’s difficult to convince outside companies to invest in a state that consistently sees massive damage due to flooding.
Also, HB 1431 will send funds to highway projects and infrastructure loans to cities and counties. Communities may argue it isn’t enough, but it’s still a good investment in North Dakota.
