Quick Summary / Abstract:
|
|
|
Background:
|
Since 2004 the Livermore community has supported quality education by providing supplemental financial support for our District through voter-approved parcel taxes. In June 2014, the Livermore electorate passed Measure G to extend the support provided by Measure M, which expired in June 2015. This local financial support protects, enhances, and helps retain neighborhood schools’ academic excellence, enhances student success, helps retain highly qualified teachers, keeps classroom technology and instructional materials up-to-date, maintains small class sizes, and preserves academic programs. Measure G expires on June 30, 2022.

|
Status
:
|
On May 3, 2022, the voters of our District will have the opportunity to renew the current parcel tax (Measure G) for a period of seven years and provide a stable source of approximately $4,000,000 in annual funding to support Livermore students and school programs and services.
The proposed measure to renew local school funding does not increase taxes beyond the amount local property owners already pay to support Livermore schools. Renewing this local measure will maintain and preserve all existing senior exemptions from Measure G without any further application being required from those eligible persons. To ensure renewed parcel tax funds are spent appropriately, all expenditures will continue to be subject to citizen oversight and annual reporting and will benefit only the District’s schools and cannot be taken by the State or by other school districts.

Fiscal Impact
:
|
Renewing the current parcel tax for a period of seven years would continue providing approximately $4,000,000 in annual local funding.
|
|
Superintendent's Recommendation:
|
Members of the public are to be advised of the proposed renewal of parcel tax beginning July 1, 2022. The President of the Board of Education opens a Public Hearing, receives public comments, and closes the Public Hearing.
