High Quality Education Measures E & F

San Ramon Valley Unified School District (SRVUSD) is one of the highest-performing school districts in the nation, with more National Blue Ribbon schools this past year than any other district in the State or nation. The Board of Trustees of SRVUSD has placed two parcel tax measures on a May 7, 2024, mail-only ballot for voter consideration.  Below are some background facts about the measures and how revenue from parcel taxes has historically been used.

 

FACT:  Our local schools are supported by $6.8 million annually from an existing voter-approved local parcel tax measure that is set to expire in 2025.
FACT:  The annual revenue from this measure allows SRVUSD to fund 56 teaching positions.
FACT:  In the next two years, $6 million in one-time State-funding for SRVUSD will expire.  This funding supports programs that ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed academically.


WHAT HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE BALLOT:

MEASURE E

RENEWAL OF EXPIRING PARCEL TAX
  • Attract and retain highly qualified teachers
  • Support academic programs in science, technology, engineering, arts, math, reading and writing
  • Prepare students for college and careers
  • Maintain Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs 
  • Renew at the current $144 per parcel per year rate, annually adjusted, with a senior citizen exemption

MEASURE F

SUPPLEMENTAL PARCEL TAX TO ADDRESS THE
LOSS OF ADDITIONAL STATE FUNDING
  • Support programs in reading and literacy for the youngest learners
  • Provide support for struggling students to succeed academically
  • Address student mental health needs
  • Attract and retain qualified teachers to support students with special needs
  • $98 per parcel per year, with a senior citizen exemption
FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND LOCAL CONTROL
Both measures include the same accountability requirements as past measures, including:
  • Senior citizens and individuals with disabilities would be exempt
  • All funds would be controlled locally and could not be taken away by the State
  • No funds for administrators’ salaries
  • Independent citizens' oversight and mandatory annual audits
