Both provide important local funding for San Carlos schools—but they support very different things.

BONDS = BUILDINGS
Bond funding, such as Measure H, supports long-term improvements to school facilities, including classrooms, roofs, windows, HVAC systems and modernization projects.

PARCEL TAXES = PEOPLE + PROGRAMS
Parcel tax funding supports ongoing educational programs and services, including teachers and academic programs that directly support students.

As we look ahead to the upcoming parcel tax renewal, we want our community to understand how local school funding works—and why these two funding sources are not interchangeable.

🎥 Watch our short video, “The Impact of Local Funding,” to learn more.

Our first PTA meeting of the year is Wednesday, Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. at the Arroyo-Central Library. We’ll cover the latest about what’s happening at our schools and hear updates about the Parcel Tax and Healthy Cities Tutoring. Click above for the full agenda.
