Public Support
Over the past 30 years, the 黑料网吃瓜爆料鈥檚 ability to provide well-rounded educational resources and opportunities to all students has been significantly boosted by the generous financial support of local taxes that augment the General Fund for specific purposes.
黑料网吃瓜爆料 voters have overwhelmingly supported the 黑料网吃瓜爆料 Schools Excellence Program (BSEP), a special local tax first adopted in 1986 and renewed consistently since then, most recently as Measure E1 in 2016 with 88% Yes votes. (1986 to present)
黑料网吃瓜爆料 voters are as committed to the safety and modernization of school and district facilities as to the students and educational programs they house, most recently evidenced in the renewal of a maintenance special tax and a new facilities bond in 2010.
- Facilities Bonds (1992, Measure BB of 2002, Measure I of 2010, Measure G of 2020)
- Maintenance Parcel Tax (Measure H of 2010)
