On May 2, 2017, District voters adopted Measure B, an education parcel tax to support District programs and students.  Measure B is for an eight (8) year term and will expire on June 30, 2025. 

RATIONALE

Based on community polling, feedback and ongoing program needs, it is recommended that the District place a measure on the ballot for the November 5, 2024 election to renew this revenue source for a period of eight (8) years. The education parcel tax will be levied on Improved Parcels at the rate of $0.15 per building square foot not to exceed $1,750 per parcel and at the rate of $25 per Unimproved Parcel.  Prior to the Board considering a resolution to specify the terms for a renewal of the education parcel tax, the Government Code requires that the Board conduct a noticed public hearing seeking any public input.  Notice of a public hearing has been given.

None.

It is recommended that the Board of Trustees conduct a public hearing in connection with a proposed education parcel tax measure to be placed on the ballot for the November 5, 2024 election.
