11 parcel taxes, 44 school bonds on November ballot

Gov. Jerry Brown and attorney Molly Munger aren't the just ones request voters for more than money for schools in Nov.

Xi districts are request for parcel taxes and 44 districts have put schoolhouse construction bonds on the ballot, according to Mike McMahon, a school consultant and Alameda Unified trustee who tracks local ballots. Half-dozen are new packet taxation requests, four are renewals, and ane proposal asks for an additional parcel tax, McMahon says. They range from a depression of $39 per package to $199 per bundle in the San Bruno Park School District.

Update: As reader Michael Coleman notes in a annotate below, there is a more extensive list of bond measures and parcel taxes. Here is a snapshot of the total list of parcel taxes, at left.

Parcel taxes have been common in the Bay Expanse – non only in wealthy communities, but in less posh places similar Martinez Unified, which is asking $50 per packet, and San Leandro Unified ($39 per packet).

In this round, yet, five of the eleven districts are in Cardinal or Southern California: Santa Barbara Unified, Ventura Unified, and 3 in Los Angeles Canton – Centinela Valley Union High School District, Lake City School Commune (near Whittier), and Westside Wedlock Schoolhouse Commune (in Quartz Hill).

Parcel taxes require a two-thirds majority to laissez passer; so far in 2012, thirteen of nineteen managed to accomplish that threshold.

Construction bonds require only 55 per centum majority to pass. In June, 25 of 34 bonds on the ballot passed. The 44 bonds on the November ballot would generate $4 billion for commune projects. The biggest would be $449 million requested past San Dieguito Union High School District in Encinitas.
