At its Aug. 8 meeting, the governing board of Santa Rosa City Schools is set to vote on a pair of parcel taxes for an upcoming ballot. These taxes together, at $50 and $75, would raise $4 million for our schools.

The school board was concerned that the November ballot is crowded with many other taxes — including a $124 million housing bond measure and a quarter-cent sales tax increase for the City of Santa Rosa.
“Because of the crowded ballot this November, the board also is considering election dates in the next two years.”
I hope that readers in Santa Rosa will consider supporting these measures if and when they reach our ballots. Education needs to be among our community’s top priorities as we rebuild from last October’s fires.
