Editorial: San Ramon Valley voters should reject school tax proposals

When school districts seek ballot approval for new property taxes, they should be transparent about the measures and encourage voter participation.

The San Ramon Valley Unified School District’s two measures on a special May 7 election ballot flunk both tests. Voters should reject Measure E, a replacement of an existing parcel tax with one that has new inflation adjustments, and Measure F, a separate new parcel tax.

These measures should have been placed on either the March primary or the November general election ballot.
