Board sends $99 parcel-tax renewal to November ballot

What happened

The board adopted a resolution calling a November 3, 2026 election on renewing the district’s expiring $99 parcel tax, without increasing the current rate. If voters approve it, the tax would continue for 12 years starting July 1, 2027, raising an estimated $1.8 million annually for district schools.

Why it matters to families

The renewal would continue locally controlled funding for academic programs and teacher recruitment and retention; the ballot measure includes exemptions for eligible seniors and some residents with disabilities, annual reporting, and independent citizen oversight.

The evidence

Resolution No. 3897 states it was adopted August 4, 2026 and orders a November 3 election. Its full ballot text describes renewal of the expiring $99 parcel tax for 12 years from July 1, 2027, estimates approximately $1.8 million in annual revenue, and bars use of proceeds for district administrators. This updates the previously published agenda-stage proposal with the board’s adopted election order.
