Voters Approve Cerritos College G.O. Bond Measure

$425 million in funding will be used to update 67-year old campus

Voters in the November 8 election approved Cerritos College’s $425 million General Obligation Bond measure, providing funding for the continuing renovation of the 67-year-old campus. Measure CC received a total of 51,606 “yes” votes or 57.60 percent of the total votes. Passage of the measure required at least a 55 percent vote of confidence.

All of the District’s projects that were funded by Measure G (2012) and Measure CC (2004) are nearing completion, including the most recent state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center, which opened in July 2022. In 2019, the Board approved the District’s new Facilities Master Plan which provides a framework for future development including the placement of new facilities, renovation of existing aging facilities, and overall improvement of the campus to support a student-centered educational environment. Additional funding beyond those provided by the two previous bond measures was needed to implement the plan and to meet the community’s evolving needs. 

“We are thankful that voters have supported our plan to update our facilities, which will allow us to continue to serve as an essential educational resource for our community,” said Cerritos College President/Superintendent Dr. Jose Fierro.

Cerritos College consistently demonstrates good stewardship with regard to its bond measure spending and overall construction program. Measure CC will generate a stable and locally controlled source of funding to update student services, classrooms, labs, and job-training facilities, which would ensure an accessible, safe, and innovative learning environment for the community.
