Election Date: November 5, 2024

Measure Y Information Only

In 2017, our community overwhelmingly voted to continue local parcel tax funding to ensure high-quality teaching and learning programs and more for local Woodside elementary and middle school kids. However, this funding is now set to expire. The locally elected school board has unanimously placed Measure Y on the November 5 ballot to extend it without increasing the tax rate.

Measure Y Question: “To maintain and enhance Woodside School’s academic excellence by providing quality instruction in math, science, reading/writing; attracting/retaining outstanding teachers; and maintaining low student-teacher ratio, shall Woodside Elementary School District’s measure be adopted extending the District’s existing school parcel tax, currently at $366.66 per parcel (raising approximately $392,000 annually), for 12 years, without increasing the tax rate, as annually adjusted, with independent citizens’ oversight, exempting those 65 years and older, and all funds spent only for Woodside School?”

Over the next several months, we will provide more information about Measure Y leading up to the election. If you have any questions or would like to have a representative discuss Measure Y with you or your group, please contact Michelle Ahlstrom.
