A Rowland Unified School District parcel tax, Measure E ballot proposition was on the June 30, 2009 ballot in Los Angeles County and Orange County for voters in the Rowland Unified School District, where it was defeated.[1][2]
Measure E asked voters to approve a $120 annual parcel tax that would last for five years. The school district said that the tax was needed to offset an estimated $16 million deficit due to the state budget crisis.[3]

(Measure E needed "yes" votes from 2/3rds of those voting to be approved.)
The ballot summary for Measure E said, "To prevent deep cuts in local educational programs, including: maintaining college preparation classes, high school counselors, student health/safety/security services, adequate instructional supplies and classroom technology; keeping school libraries open; protecting small class sizes and music/art programs; and retaining qualified teachers; shall Rowland Unified School District levy an annual $120 tax per parcel, for 5 years only, with independent oversight, and exemption for seniors, no money for administrator salaries, and all funds benefiting Rowland Unified schools?"
