YES ON MEASURE V
to Support Scotts Valley Students
Measure V proposes a 7-year, $168 annual tax applied to every parcel within the Scotts Valley School District.* If 2/3 of Scotts Valley voters pass Measure V, it will generate nearly $1 million a year of 100% locally-controlled funding to ensure SVUSD can:
-
Pay competitive wages to SVUSD teachers, counselors, and staff;
-
Maintain STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) programs; and
-
Continue providing essential student counseling support.
Measure V will replace the current $108 annual parcel tax that expires in 2024.
Property owners over 65 or receiving disability can apply for exemption. Revenue will fund salaries for teachers, staff and counselors - not administrators.
​
The DCNSCC voted to endorse Measure V in August after hearing an excellent presentation by SVUSD Board President Michael Shulman and SVUSD Superintendent. You can see the slides from that presentation here.
