Pleasanton School- Parcel Tax

By
Mortgage and Lending with Vintage Mortgage Group

Would you pay an additional $614 per year in a flat parcel tax to benefit the Pleasanton schools?  

 

The "Excellence Committee," formed by the PUSD, recently proposed this at a Pleasanton Economic Development, Chamber of Commerce meeting. Although the Pleasanton schools are already top notch, this additional funding would help fill in gaps which the State and fundraisers do not cover.  

 

The funding would go to various areas, and would aid in class size reduction, providing additional counselors, and in creating a visual and performing arts department. To visualize: our student to counselor ratio is 658:1, the additional funding would take those levels down to 350:1.

 

How much would you pay to improve our Pleasanton schools? Would a better school system drive our Pleasanton Real Estate Market higher?

The schools have so many problems.  I would personally be willing to pay extra money to help out the schools.  The key is the money is going to schools.  I have seen many times it funded to somewhere else.
