Pacifica SD

Voters approved Measure L (renewal and increase of parcel tax from 2008) in November 2011. Measure L is a Parcel Tax of $118 per parcel used to support Pacifica School District. The expected revenue from the tax is approximately $1,200,000 per year and is collected each December ($600,000) and April ($600,000) until
2017.

Parcel Tax Ballot Language:

To protect local elementary and middle schools from state budget cuts; maintain high quality education; protect academic programs in math, science, reading and writing; attract and retain qualified teachers; and support library services and classroom computer instruction; shall Pacifica School District replace its expiring parcel tax at $118 a year for 5 years, with independent citizens oversight, exemptions for senior citizens, no funds used for administrator
salaries, and all funds staying local to promote student achievement.

In the fall of 2008, the Pacifica Board of Trustees established a citizen committee to review expenditures and to report to the public regarding the match of expenditures to the ballot language. The Committee consists of six parents (one from each school site selected by the Parent Teacher Organization) and six community members (selected through an application process by the Governing Board). Members of the committee are:
