The San Jose Unified School District's effort to renew its $72 parcel tax, aimed at ensuring student success and educational funding, failed to achieve the necessary two-thirds majority. Despite polling 60% in favor, with significant support in downtown areas, a turnout of just over 15% of registered voters ultimately led to its defeat. Voter opposition in certain precincts, particularly in South San Jose, also contributed to this outcome. This parcel tax, if renewed, would have ensured ongoing funding for programs critical in academics and staff retention.
The proposed renewal of the $72 parcel tax within the San Jose Unified School District was rejected due to insufficient voter turnout, garnering only 60% support.
With only 15% of registered voters participating, the Measure A renewal fell short of the required two-thirds majority, despite the district's claim of its necessity.
