A Fremont Unified School District parcel tax, Measure K ballot proposition was on the November 2, 2010 ballot for voters in the Fremont Unified School District in Alameda County, where it was approved.[1]
The tax was a $53 per parcel, per year, for five years. There were 53,871 parcels in the school district at the time of the vote. School officials believed that the tax would generate close to $13 million over the five years it was set to be in effect.[2]
The school board paid a political consulting firm, Godbe Research, over $105,000 to perform polls and feasibility studies to learn whether voters in the district are likely to approve the tax. Based on the results of the latest polls, Bryan Godbe said, "We think there is potential support for November, and we recommend moving forward."[1]
The board also voted, unanimously, to spend about $320,000 on the administrative costs of holding the parcel tax election.[1]
A two-thirds (66.67%) vote was required for Measure K to pass.[3]
