Ballotpedia:WikiProject School Bond and Tax Elections
From Ballotpedia
|
The School Bond and Tax Elections project is a WikiProject devoted to organizing and building information about voting on school bond and tax measures.
It is a subset of WikiProject Local Ballot Measures and is one of Ballotpedia's newest projects. It was started in September 2009.
The project has three main goals, which are:
- Describe in a clear and comprehensive way what the law is in each state that governs local school bond and tax elections. When is a school district required to go to the voters? What rules and regulations must school boards follow before they put a bond or tax measure on the ballot? Must school districts put these measures on the ballot during general elections or do they have more flexibility? How often can a school board go back to voters with a measure that was previously defeated? How much public notice must voters be given about a forthcoming election? Are school boards allowed to pay for political campaigns urging "yes" votes on bond and tax measures?
- To write articles about individual local school bond and tax measures.
- Produce executive summaries and aggregate statistics that tell the story of school bond and tax measures over time.

Needs work
- {{bonds}} needs to be re-built to include just school elections.
- {{school bond and tax elections}} needs articles for all 50 states added.
These older articles will probably need to be re-named:
