Trust is earned. Propositions 435 and 436 were built with more oversight and transparency than ever before, with clear rules on how every dollar is spent and independent eyes making sure it happens. This is about the future of our schools and our community, and with these safeguards in place, families and taxpayers alike can be confident local dollars stay local.
Vote YES to 435 and 436 with confidence:
They do two different jobs. The override (Proposition 435) funds the day-to-day of education, the things happening inside the classroom, including teacher pay and supplies. The bond (Proposition 436) pays for the buildings and modern tools our students need to have a safe learning environment.
Based on $100,000 of assessed value, Proposition 435 would cost about $42 per year and Proposition 436 about $54 per year, or approximately 26 cents per day combined.
Because homeowners aren't carrying most of the load. Approximately 84% of the District's tax base comes from utilities and energy infrastructure, helping keep the cost to homeowners comparatively low while local schools receive the benefit.
Strong schools protect your home's value and the character of your neighborhood. Strong schools are why families put down roots and why businesses invest. Strong schools have always been the foundation of a strong, thriving community.
Propositions 435 and 436 help build the workforce and community that attract new business and investment. These measures support programs like Career & Technical Education (CTE), preparing local students with real-world skills, and building the local workforce that new employers look for when deciding where to invest. Better-educated students today mean a stronger local economy tomorrow.
