Amador Valley High School is located in [[Pleasanton, California]]. While Pleasanton provided [[Elementary School|elementary]] and [[middle school|middle]] school education since its early years, students proceeding to [[high school]] attended nearby [[Livermore High School]] until 1924. Out of concerns of overcrowding and transportation for the commuting students, Pleasanton parents and students advocated for a local high school in the early 1920s. The activism culminated in a voter bond referendum on March 14, 1922 to establish the Amador Valley Joint Union High School District (AVJUHSD) and build the high school.<ref name="kcr 1922b"/><ref name="pleasantonhistoriccontext">{{Citation|url=http://www.cityofpleasantonca.gov/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=28032

City voters passed another general obligation bond, Measure{{nbsp}}I1, in 2016. This was the district's first bond passed since Measure{{nbsp}}B in 1997. The bond granted $270{{nbsp}}million to the school district to repair and improve district facilities, as well as provide new science equipment and learning technology. As a part of these renovations, the school district constructed a two-story instructional building on the Amador Valley campus, including "five standard classrooms, three science classrooms, two computer science labs, and two rooms specifically for special day class students". Construction commenced in 2020 and concluded in 2022, at a total cost of $18,400,000.<ref name="pw 2020b"/><ref name = "measure i1 master plan"/><ref name="pw 2022i"/>

The district held that the measure was "so drastic and far-reaching that it was 'a revision' of the state Constitution and not a mere amendment". The district was unsuccessful in its suit. In their ruling, the judges distinguished between "[[Constitutional amendment|amendment]]" and "[[Constitutional revision|revision]]". The court confirmed that an initiative cannot "revise" the constitution; Proposition{{nbsp}}13, however, was an amendment to the [[California Constitution]] and not a "revision".<ref name="upi 1978"/> In 2009, ''Amador Valley'' was cited by dissenting Justice [[Carlos R.
