Gravenstein Union School District Measure I (June 2008)
From Ballotpedia
Gravenstein Union School District Measure I appeared on the June 3, 2008 ballot in Sonoma County, California, where it was defeated. To pass, it needed the approval of 67% of the district's voters. The measure would have imposed a parcel tax of $45.00 for eight years starting July 1, 2008.
The ballot language read, "To continue to provide our students with courses in the arts and music, as well as technology instruction, all essential for student growth and development, shall the Gravenstein Union School District be authorized to levy a qualified special tax of $45 per year on each parcel of taxable real property in the District for no more than eight years, commencing July 1, 2009, after the expiration of the existing parcel tax, with annual audits and an exemption for seniors?"
Measure A in March 2009
On March 3, 2009, voters in the district were asked to approve a similar parcel tax increase measure, Gravenstein Union School District parcel tax, Measure A, 2009. Voters, however, defeated Measure A just as they had defeated Measure I.
Measure A asked for a tax increase of $36/parcel, slightly less than the $45/parcel request in 2008's Measure I.
