The San Bruno Park School District (SBPSD) educates and empowers all students to thrive academically, socially and emotionally and be contributing members of society. The District strives to engage and inspire our students to be productive critical thinkers who embrace diversity, curiosity, and innovation throughout their lives.
Maintaining Our Commitment to Education
The State of California only provides enough money for a basic education and providing a quality education starts in the classroom. Of the 23 school districts in San Mateo, San Bruno Park is the only elementary school district that does not have a dedicated source of local funding for our schools.
Establishing a Local Funding Source for San Bruno Park School District
To ensure SBPSD schools can provide a strong education to all students, the Governing Board is considering establishing a parcel tax for $68 for 8 years. If approved by voters, funding from this measure could be used to:
Provide quality programs in science, technology, engineering and math
Attract and retain qualified teachers
Keep textbooks and instructional materials up-to-date
Fiscal Accountability and Local Control Required
All funds would be controlled locally for SBPSD schools only and could not be taken away by the State
No funds would be used to pay for administrators’ salaries
Independent citizens’ oversight and mandatory annual audits would be required
Senior citizen homeowners would be eligible for an exemption from the cost
