Yes On Measure H

For nearly 40 years, Piedmont schools have relied on locally approved parcel taxes to supplement limited state funding. The current voter-approved parcel tax, which is set to expire, provides more than 20% of our school district’s budget. Measure H continues this locally controlled funding that helps attract and retain high-quality educators, maintain manageable class sizes, and support advanced academic programs.

​

Measure H is not a tax increase.

It simply renews the existing voter-approved parcel tax,

with minimal annual adjustments keeping pace with the cost of living.

​

Piedmont Unified School District consistently ranks among the top school districts in California. Renewing Measure H is essential to maintaining the high quality of Piedmont schools. With growing competition across the Bay Area for excellent teachers, Measure H will help Piedmont continue to attract and retain the highly qualified educators who make our schools exceptional.

Measure H funds:

• Advanced reading, writing, and language programs

• Advanced programs in science, technology, engineering and math

• Ensuring textbooks and instructional materials are up-to-date

• Advanced academic programs and essential college counseling 

• Programs in music, visual and performing arts

​

There is a great deal at stake. California provides significantly less funding per student than most other states, and Piedmont schools receive even less per student than many other districts in California. If Measure H is not renewed, the Board of Education would be required to cut approximately $12 million from the annual budget, leading to teacher and staff layoffs and significant reductions to both core and advanced academic programs.

​

Piedmont schools have remained exceptional because residents have consistently supported this essential local funding.

​

Strong schools benefit the entire community. Even for residents without school-age children, supporting Measure H is a smart investment in our community’s future.

​

All funds raised by Measure H stay in Piedmont, supporting local students and schools.

The money cannot be taken by the State or used for any other purpose.
