two community bond measures, four new schools opened between 2004 and 2009. The bonds also provided for the renovation of every school in the District and resulted in modernized classrooms equipped with the latest teaching technology tools, new libraries, new school offices, new science labs, computer pods between classrooms, expanded parking lots, new gyms, new playgrounds, new gyms, new training, and locker rooms, and much more. The Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District obtained its name after the 1989 merger between the school districts serving the established community of Placentia and the growing area of Yorba Linda. In 2002 and 2008, the community expressed their support of schools by approving school bond measures to renovate existing schools and build new ones.
