10/9/2020 -- For years, the Willits Unified School District has struggled to keep their aging facilities in good repair. There are eight school buildings in the district. The newest one is from the late ‘80s, and the oldest from almost a century ago. At Willits High School, the parking lot is badly in need of an upgrade, and at Blosser Elementary, the roof is leaking. Despite the urgency of these issues, superintendent Mark Westerburg couldn’t do much about it, because there was no money to deal with the rapidly deteriorating buildings. Last week, that changed.
The Willits School District voters passed measure I, allowing the district's board to issue $17 million dollars in bonds over the next 10 to 12 years. The access to funds should allow them to keep their buildings in decent shape and tackle problems as soon as they come up.
