Taxing Citizens More Did not Improve San Francisco

 

 

Does San Francisco have a school levy?

• General obligation bonds: These are voter-approved measures that allow the school district to borrow money for capital projects, such as upgrading school facilities, building new schools, and improving technology. There is a potential bond measure on the March 2024 ballot (Proposition A) for San Francisco public schools [search San Francisco March 2024 ballot Prop A].

• Parcel taxes: These are annual taxes levied on each parcel of land in San Francisco to raise money for the school district's general operating budget, including teacher salaries, staffing, and professional development. San Francisco has a parcel tax specifically for schools called Proposition G, which was passed in June 2018. [search San Francisco Prop G Schools Parcel Tax]
