Los Gatos Unified School District Measure E (June 2008)
From Ballotpedia
The Los Gatos Unified School District Measure E appeared on the June 3, 2008 ballot in Santa Clara County, California, where it passed. To pass, it had to earn the approval of at least 67% of the voters. It imposes a parcel tax of $290 a year for six years, extending a similar parcel tax that has been in effect in the district since 1990.
The parcel tax that began in 1990 was extended in 1994 by 82%, in 1998 by 80% and in 2002 by 75%.
The ballot question said, "Local Elementary and Middle School Academic Excellence Measure. To support high academic achievement for local students by retaining quality teachers, keeping small class sizes, and maintaining science, literacy, art, music and other programs, shall the Los Gatos Union School District be authorized to renew its expiring parcel tax of $290 per year per parcel, for six years, without increase, with an exemption available for senior citizens and disabled persons, with citizen oversight, and every dollar staying in Los Gatos schools?"
