A parcel tax question was on the ballot for Las Virgenes Unified School District voters in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, California, on November 3, 2015. It was approved.
Measure E authorizes the district to continue its annual parcel tax—a kind of property tax based on units of property rather than assessed value—of $98 per parcel for 12 years.[1]
District voters approved this tax in 2004 and renewed it in 2007. It was designed to expire in 2015 without approval of a measure continuing the tax, such as Measure E. In 2011, voters defeated Measure K, which would have authorized a $95 per year parcel tax for eight years.
As of 2015, the district served 11,319 students in 15 schools.
A two-thirds (66.67%) vote was required for the approval of Measure E.
