Central Middle School Home

The San Carlos School Board placed Measure K on the November 3rd ballot. The cost to local property owners could be $489 a year or $40.75 a month. State funding alone is unable to provide SCSD with sufficient funds to maintain the district’s high-quality education.

Measure K could support the people and programs that directly serve students, including:
• Teachers and staff
• Core academic programs
• Student support services
• High-quality educational programs and learning opportunities
• Maintaining strong instruction across our schools

Parcel Taxes = People + Programs

Learn more about how local funding supports San Carlos schools and the upcoming Measure K Parcel Tax.

Last week, we shared how bond funding supports our school buildings and facilities. This week, we’re taking a closer look at the other side of local school funding: parcel taxes.

Unlike bond funding, parcel tax dollars support the people and programs that directly serve students, including:
• Teachers and staff
• Core academic programs
• Student support services
• High-quality educational programs and learning opportunities
• Maintaining strong instruction across our schools

It’s an easy way to remember the difference:
Bonds = Buildings
Parcel Taxes = People + Programs
