Public Hearing Notice


Mountain View Whisman School District depends upon locally generated revenue to supplement state and federal education funding. In our District, this  constitutes nearly a quarter of our total revenue.

One of the largest sources of this local revenue is our Parcel Tax, which generated annually approximately $2.8 million for the District. Our local Parcel Tax was approved in 2017 as Measure B to maintain the high quality of our neighborhood schools. Parcel tax revenue funds programs that the District would not otherwise have been able to provide. The parcel tax revenue provided essential funding in the past for items such as the following:

* Provide academic support at every elementary school for English language learners and those students having difficulty with the basics like reading, writing or math
* Support programs focused on 21st-century skills like science, engineering and computer science
* Maintain up-to-date textbooks and instructional materials
* Offer competitive compensation so the best teachers can continue to live and work in this expensive area.

We want to express our continuing gratitude to those MVWSD residents who supported the Parcel Tax and to those property owners who provide such an essential resource for our students.
