Bond Measure J
The North Orange County Community College District Board of Trustees voted unanimously on July 22, 2014, to place Measure J, the Fullerton/Cypress Colleges Repair and Student/Veteran Job Training Measure, on the November 4, 2014 ballot.
To pass, Measure J needed a 55% approval rating vote by voters within NOCCCD boundaries, which include the cities of: Anaheim, Fullerton, Yorba Linda, Cypress, Buena Park, Placentia, Brea, La Habra, La Habra Heights, La Palma, Los Alamitos, Placentia, Rossmoor, Garden Grove, La Mirada, Orange, Seal Beach, Stanton and Whittier.
Officially approved and passed in November 2014, Measure J will provide Fullerton College, Cypress College and the School of Continuing Education with $574 million for significant upgrades to technical job training facilities, aging classrooms, and veteran amenities.
Key Measure J project priorities include:
- Upgrades to antiquated science labs, lecture halls, technology and instructional equipment to better prepare students for growing fields of study and high-skill careers
- Enhancements of classroom space and training centers for future nurses, firefighters and other first responders, as well as technically-trained workers
- Expansion of veterans' facilities and services as well as job-placement centers to train and re-train veterans as they transition into the civilian workforce
Improvements also call for general health and safety repairs, energy-efficiency enhancements, and other needed facility renovations on each of the District's three campuses.
Passage of Measure J amounts to a projected $14.90 per $100,000 assessed value for property owners, and includes citizen oversight and regular audits to assure accountability and transparency. By law, funds from facility bond measures can only be spent on buildings, classrooms or instructional equipment. No bond funds can be spent on administrator pensions or salaries.

Sherbeck Field Improvements Project
Fullerton College prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Fullerton College Sherbeck Field Improvements Project. The proposed project encompasses the installation of permanent prefabricated aluminum bleachers, six field lighting stanchions, a new sound system, press box and storage building at the existing Sherbeck Field. Sherbeck Field would continue to be used for academic instruction, competitive athletics, and rentals; however, Sherbeck Field is proposed to host competitive football games, which are currently held at other locations. The inclusion of field lighting as part of the project would allow Fullerton College to add more evening classes, to offer a balanced schedule, and provide more class options for students who may not be able to take physical education during the day. It is anticipated that these improvements would begin in early 2020 and would last approximately six months.
The description, location, and the potential environmental effects resulting from the proposed project are contained in the EIR, which is available below, through the Fullerton College website (www.fullcoll.edu/campusprojects/projects), and at the Administrative Offices, North Orange County Community College District office in Anaheim.
