Measure D is a general obligation (GO) bond measure on the March 3, 2020, primary election ballot.  Approved by over 55 percent of District voters, the measure authorizes $30 million of locally controlled funds to repair and modernize aging schools and classrooms throughout the Pacific Grove Unified School District, with no projected increase in current tax rates.

 

Pacific Grove schools are among our community’s most valuable assets. The District Board believes the state has fallen short in providing adequate funding to maintain and improve our children’s schools. This measure addressed that problem by providing a fiscally prudent source of locally controlled funds that cannot be taken by the state and spent elsewhere. Measure D also qualifies the District for millions of dollars of state matching funds that would otherwise be unavailable.

 

The measure’s average annual tax rate is estimated to be less than $0.03 per $100 of assessed valuation. This amount will be an extension of the current tax rate with no projected increase in current taxes.
