Oroville City Elementary School District is proud to provide high-quality education in TK/Kindergarten through 8th grade, with dedicated teachers and staff helping students learn, grow, and prepare for the future. But while our students are thriving academically, our aging school facilities need attention. Many of our schools are 40–50 years old, with our oldest campus at 75 years. Essential repairs, safety upgrades, and modernization are needed. Our students deserve learning environments that match the quality of education they receive!

As Oroville City Elementary School District works to upgrade and improve our schools for the future, we welcome your input.

To share your opinions and priorities or to ask questions, email Superintendent Dr. Spencer Holtom, at superintendent@ocesd.net.

If approved by local voters, Measure Q could:
• Replace leaky roofs and windows
• Construct facilities for career technical education learning opportunities
• Replace outdated heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems
• Make health, safety, and security improvements
• Upgrade inadequate electrical systems

Funding from Measure Q would require strict fiscal protections, including:
• Independent audits and a citizens’ oversight committee
• All funds would be spent on OCESD facilities and schools
• A detailed project list would designate the projects for which bond funds can be spent
• No funds could be used for administrators’ salaries or benefits

Our maintenance teams work hard to keep our schools safe, clean, and functioning, but many of our facilities were built to standards from another era. Essential repairs and upgrades are needed across our campuses. Aging classrooms and deteriorating facilities can also be more costly and less efficient to operate than modern facilities.

On June 17, the Oroville City Elementary School District Board of Trustees voted to place a $16 million school improvement bond measure on the November 2026 ballot to repair and upgrade Oroville City schools.

The measure is projected to cost approximately $16 per $100,000 of assessed property value annually while the bonds are outstanding. It is projected that the measure will not increase the current tax rate homeowners are paying.

Welcome Back OCESD!
We are SO happy to see our students!

🌱 Big thanks to our incredible community!

This past Saturday, August 8th, OCESD and CSEA Chapter 618 joined forces for Campus Beautification Day!

We want to send a heartfelt THANK YOU to every single staff member, family, and community volunteer who showed up ready to roll up their sleeves. Thanks to your hard work, energy, and dedication, we got an amazing amount of work done to make our campuses clean, bright, and welcoming for our students.

It takes a village, and our community proved once again just how strong we are when we work together.

🍧 What’s better on an August evening than a sweet, icy treat? Serving it alongside our amazing students!

This past Tuesday, August 4th, Oroville City Elementary School District had a absolute blast joining the Oroville Police Department for National Night Out! We loved connecting with so many of our wonderful community members and keeping everyone cool with free sno-cones.

The highlight of the night? Having a couple of our very own OCESD students jump right in to help scoop and hand out treats with big smiles! 📸✨

Thank you to the Oroville Police Department for hosting such a fantastic event, and to everyone who stopped by our booth to say hi! We are so proud of our students and grateful for this incredible community.
