Q: How does SRVUSD funding compare to similar Districts? A: SRVUSD is among the five lowest funded unified school districts in California (www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/pa/lcffsumdata.asp ). Due to the reality of how State funding is allocated, SRVUSD receives less. Measure E renews a 20-year tradition of voter-approved, locally controlled funding. Without Measure E our schools will struggle to attract the best teachers and ensure they don’t leave for nearby districts that can offer more competitive compensation. Many neighboring and similar districts have voter-approved funding and local funding for SRVUSD is actually among the lowest in the area.
Q: Why do SRVUSD schools need additional funding beyond what the State’s funding formula provides? A: The State base funding only supports a basic education. We cannot rely on the State alone to provide the high-quality teaching and academic programs our community expects and our students need. Local voters understand this: for 20 years expiring local funding, combined with extensive parent donations, has allowed our local students to keep pace. Similar neighboring districts also supplement State funding with locally controlled funding. Measure E ensures local schools can keep pace.
Q: Has SRVUSD been a good steward of past voter-approved funding?
A: Yes. The citizens’ Parcel Tax Oversight Committee (PTOC) has confirmed that the District spent
past voter-approved funding as promised. You can read the latest PTOC reports by clicking HERE.
All information was current as of the May 7, 2024 election. For current funding information, contact the San Ramon Valley Unified School District or www.srvusd.net.
Q: I don’t have children attending local schools. How does this impact me? A: Our award-winning schools are a crucial part of what makes our communities special. Exceptional academics and skilled teachers not only prepare local children for lifelong success, but they also protect the value of our homes here in San Ramon, Danville, Alamo, and Blackhawk.
Q: How long will Measures E & F be in place?
A: Both Measures E & F will last for 9 years and could not be extended further without voter
approval.
