Board holds first reading of Measure G parcel‑tax renewal, tentatively $3,174 per parcel
Summary
The board held a first reading of a proposed Measure G renewal to place a parcel tax renewal on the June 2, 2026 ballot; draft ballot language proposes a $3,174 per‑parcel rate and estimates roughly $12 million annually. The item returns for approval at a future meeting.
The board reviewed a first reading of Resolution 11 20 25 26, a proposed renewal of Measure G, the district’s larger parcel tax. Speaker 3 summarized the draft ballot language and told the board: "Shall Piedmont Unified School District's measure be adopted, renewing the expiring school parcel tax at the then current rate of $3,174 per parcel until ended by voters with independent citizen oversight, annual inflation adjustments, and all funds, which are approximately 12,000,000 annually, benefiting local students."
Speaker 2 (chair) said the first reading is for discussion only and that the board will bring the resolution back for approval at a later meeting (the staff said Jan. 21 as the return date in the discussion). Ruth Alahadoyne was invited to the podium to answer technical questions on the ballot language.
During public comment, Greg Schiller urged consideration of a progressive per‑square‑foot building tax instead of a flat parcel tax, arguing that larger homes both use more school resources and realize larger capital gains. The board did not vote on the resolution at this meeting; staff will return with the item for formal approval and any edits to ballot language.
