Moraga presentation details school funding gaps as community pushes for Measure I parcel tax
Summary
The Moraga Education Foundation told the Town Council that local public schools lag state funding; parents and MEF volunteers urged the council to endorse Measure I, a parcel tax aiming to raise roughly $1.7 million annually to shore up programs facing cuts.
Anna Moon, executive director of programs at the Moraga Education Foundation, told the Moraga Town Council that district funding is far below state averages and that local fundraising helps close a large gap in per‑pupil funding.
"My name is Anna Moon. I'm the executive director of programs at the Moraga Education Foundation, and I'm here to talk about 3 things," Moon said, outlining that the Moraga School District and the Acalanes Union High School District rank near the bottom in state funding comparisons and that the districts face multi‑million‑dollar cuts. She said Moraga School District is about $6,600 per student below the state average and Campolindo is about $4,500 per student below the state average.
