The Conejo Valley Unified School District is proud to share that on November 8th, Moody's Ratings upgraded the District's CA’s issuer rating to Aa3 from A1, and the District’s general obligation unlimited tax (GOULT) rating to Aa2 from Aa3. Additionally, an Aa2 rating has been assigned to the District's 2024 General Obligation Refunding Bonds. The expected par amount is $28 million. Following the sale, the District will have about $161 million in outstanding GOULT debt.

Strengthening Our Financial Future

This upgrade is driven by the District's growing economy and sound financial position that will remain stable given conservative fiscal management.

The Aa3 issuer rating reflects the district's stable financial position with sound reserves, as reflected in an available fund balance ratio of 17.8% through fiscal year 2023, which is expected to remain sound given the District’s conservative fiscal management.

The Conejo Valley Unified School District is committed to maintaining its strong financial standing and continuing to deliver quality education to its students. Learn more here.

In honor of National Inclusive Schools Week (December 2 - 6, 2024) CVUSD would like to celebrate five Inclusion Heroes at its December 18, 2024, Board of Education meeting.

An Inclusion Hero is an individual who has a passion for ensuring all students have equal access and opportunity - particularly students who have historically been marginalized, and turns this passion into action by modeling inclusivity in their day-to-day work.

Nominate a teacher, staff member, or administrator in recognition of their dedication to creating a community of inclusivity, respect, and kindness that supports ALL students' access, participation, and success by completing a nomination form:

Last week, Banyan Elementary School hosted its Patriotic Assembly. At this special, annual event the Banyan community's active service members, veterans and first responders (who are also known as mom, dad, grandpa, grandma, etc. by our Bobcats at home) were celebrated and honored for their service to our community, state and country. Scholars also had the opportunity to learn more about the roles of their special guests, along with the equipment and uniforms they use in their line of duty.
