Board considered placing a 14-year, $195-per-parcel replacement tax on the November ballot

What happened

The August 4 board agenda scheduled a public hearing and proposed adoption of Resolution 2627-0001, which would call a November 3, 2026 election on a $195 annual parcel tax lasting 14 years. The proposed tax would begin when Measure G1 expires on June 30, 2029. Because the collected source is an agenda rather than adopted minutes, the final board outcome is not confirmed here.

Why it matters to families

If approved first by the board and then by voters, the measure would provide a long-term local revenue stream for teacher retention and educational programs while replacing an existing parcel tax. Families should distinguish the board's proposed ballot action from voter approval: this record documents what was scheduled for consideration, not a final election result.

The evidence

Agenda item 26-1600 calls for a public hearing and proposed adoption of Resolution 2627-0001 to submit the Oakland Unified School District Teacher Retention and Educational Programs Replacement Act to voters at the November 3, 2026 general election. It specifies a qualified special parcel tax of $195 per parcel for 14 years upon Measure G1's June 30, 2029 expiration.
