Years of spending cuts have impacted class size, high school sports programs, swim centers, school counselors, Gifted and Talented Education, adult education, art, and music, among others. The reductions have also force the closure of elementary, middle, and high school sites. In order to stave off these budget reductions, school districts have placed parcel tax measures on the ballot. Other districts need to build new facilities or to improve and modernize existing ones. These districts have placed on the ballot general obligation bonds for district capital expenses. Three of the school districts in Area 1 have place parcel tax measures and three from other trustee areas have placed bond measures on the November 4, 2014 ballot. The Board of Education of the Albany Unified School District voted to place a parcel tax before Albany’s voters. Measure LL will replace an expiring $159/year parcel tax with a temporary, six‐year parcel tax of $278/year to maintain excellent schools; preserve funding for science, art, music, library services, and reading and math support; attract and retain exceptional teachers and counselors; limit class sizes; and keep schools safe and technology and textbooks up‐to‐date. (2/3 votes needed) The Board of Education of the Emery Unified School District voted to place a parcel tax before Emeryville’s voters.
