The school district has faced a tumultuous two years. They have spent a good deal of that time cleaning up some of the financial messes from past regimes and getting their affairs in order. They face an ongoing challenge in attempts to close the Achievement Gap–a goal that every candidate running for election shares. A small but sizable minority student population that at times have felt disconnected and disaffected from school. Stung by administration decisions and an inability of the district to attract even a nominal number of minority faculty.
The district faces declining enrollment. Last spring, their solution to this problem was to close a neighborhood elementary school. This despite strong support from the neighborhood, the parents, the teachers, and the community at large. That decision will not solve the problem of declining enrollment. It was the wrong solution to the wrong problem. The problem is not too many schools, the problem was lack of good alternative ideas to closing down a school that was quite frankly working where many others in the same situation might not have worked.
The Valley Oak Charter Initiative, which will be turned in tomorrow, quite frankly scuttles that plan. The district will have to come up with new ideas. And there are ideas, some of these ideas emanating from the very people running for the board.
At the same time the district faces a shortage of money, they will be hoping to pass their school parcel tax. Some have suggested the need to play football with this tax measure and send a message to the district. I think it is wrong to send a message to the district that will harm students and student programs. The only problem I see with the parcel tax is that even with this money the district is hurting for money.
Finally, for those of us who value lifelong learning, the message is clear–we need to re-up the library tax. The library tax has not gone up in nearly 20 years. They need the money to be able to modernize the library, maintain the hours and the staff services. If you support lifelong education and public access to books and other resources, this is a no-brainer for the cost of less than 10 dollars per month, we have to renew the library parcel tax and keep our libraries strong.
As I have mentioned, the Vanguard does not formally endorse candidates for office. However, tomorrow will be our election special. The morning story will feature statements from each of the candidates and hopefully Measure P as to why we should vote for them. We already ran our op-ed on Measure Q co-written by Sheila Allen and Gina Daleiden. We will link to that article.
Then in the comments, members of the public are encouraged to endorse their favorite candidates. Of course, anonymous posts are allowed, but an anonymous endorsement of your favorite candidate means almost nothing.
On election night, the Vanguard will be live blogging from the County Elections office in Woodland. And we will have roaming bands of reporters reporting into the community. Anyone in the community who wants to, is encouraged to write in and let us know what is going on. We plan to cover the major parties and perhaps get reactions from the winners–if the winners are declared before we have to go to sleep.

“…Charter schools may find that districts are reluctant to share these funds and may need to aggressively pursue them, perhaps by including a provision in their charter that calls for the district to share the funds on some mutually agreeable basis.”
Popular leverage in the form of a “holding pattern” NO on Measure Q vote while waiting to see the new School Board performance on this issue BEFORE giving them the 2/3 voter approval on the school parcel tax is in the best tradition of populism. Other than simplistic rhetoric, no one has suggested that moving the approval of the school parcel tax 6-9 months into the future with another offering to the voters will irreparably “harm our kids”.

I haven’t heard Freddie Oakley make any pronouncements on this, but I would assume, much like with our last election, that it will take a few days (with the current vote-counting machines) to tally all the ballots. If anyone knows otherwise, please say. I suppose it is possible that the previous election was just an aberration.

How much more tax are we supposed to pay?
Looking at my current tax bill…
Davis JT UN ASMT = 165.90
Davis JT UNIF CFD #1 = 144.60
Davis JT UNIF CFD #2 = 598.24
For a total of 908 for schools…I don’t have kids and see the School District paying two sups, delayed repayment on the new school, opening a new school with declining enrollment, opening a new school and talk of closing VO…what else am I missing?

I wish P would just go for keeping services strong at the library. Expansion of the library with a new branch in South Davis just doesn’t make sense to me — and I live in S Davis!!
What politicians and measure writers never seem to take into consideration is M&O. By expanding the system, your costs are going to rise…which means more money is needed in the long run. So we’ll hear a pledge that it is only 10/month then we expand and all of sudden it becomes 20/month or we’re going to REDUCE services and may have to close a branch. Then it becomes which branch do we reduce service at…
I understand that this is a bit of a simplification BUT I believe it is a realistic scenario.

More taxes on me for the current school admin to clean up the messes I have already been forced to pay for? As far as the “sizeable portion of students in the achievement gap”,WHERE ARE THEIR PARENTS? Is this the race card again from the alleged vanguard? I will vote NO on ANY new tax measure in Davis.

Those CFD’s are your Mello-Roose fees (for Mace Ranch only, I believe). When you bought your house, it cost you less (equal to the Present Value of the CFDs), and as such, you are not paying more for those “taxes.” In other words, had the CFD liens not gone with your parcel, your home would have sold for substantially more money, and hence your mortgage would cost you approximately $750 more than you are now paying.

BTW, if that was just your November tax bill, as we just paid ours, that $750 would be $1500 extra on your annual mortgage payments.

I just looked at our 2007-08 “Yolo County Secured Property Tax Bill.” I live near Sycamore Lane in old West Davis.
We have “Davis JT UN ASMT = 165.90,” also. I believe that is the amount which will be increased to $200 if Measure Q passes.
However, we don’t have “Davis JT UNIF CFD #2 = 598.24” at all. That CFD must have included newer parts of South Davis and Mace Ranch. I’m not sure.
And while we have “Davis JT UNIF CFD #1,” ours is only $72.30. I’m not sure why there is a difference.
On top of those, we have property tax, a Davis bond, Los Rios CCD, the parks tax, the library tax, and open space (Measure O).
All in all, it’s expensive to live here. And will get worse, should we have to pay for a new water source, as has been proposed.

Rich,
Interesting that you do not have the CFD #2. We live in Oakshade so there were no “extras” (as far as I I know – and we researched) to our area when I moved in (1998). I realize Davis is expensive but it keeps getting worse…and they are going to increase Sewage very soon!

The one thing you can feel quite good about is that you bought your house at a good time. It probably didn’t increase in value for a couple of years, but then it probably tripled in price from 2000-01 to 2005 or so…. My next door neighbors retired in 2000 and sold their nice 3/2 house for $240,000 and moved to (a really nice place in) Idaho. Now that house is probably worth $600 to $650,000.

I am really unhappy about the increasing cost of Davis utilities, but it does not make sense to vote against Measure Q because of that. Even people who do not have kids should want Measure Q to pass. Consider how much less your homes will be worth if the Davis school system sinks to the level of most of the other public school systems in California.

In farter west Davis, near Arlington & Lake, but not in Stonegate, we have
Davis JT Unif CFD #1 = $144.60
No CFD #2. Maybe the more recent the home, the higher these fees are to cover building costs for new schools in the area? I don’t think that CFD assessments cover teacher salaries, in any event.
Good education is expensive, but not as expensive as ignorance.

There are usually 10-15% of Davis voters who vote NO on all bond measures and taxes. A No Q vote now is a vote to wait for the submission of another school parcel tax measure(these funds are described as essential and the submission of another school parcel tax measure to the voters is certain) will reveal whether there is another 20% of DAVIS voters who place their values before the exaggerated appeal to pocketbook scare-tactics.
