Dear Neighbor,
With the school year well under way, I am
grateful to the entire San Ramon Valley Unified
School District (SRVUSD) community.
SRVUSD has a tradition of excellence and a
reputation for exemplary schools. We are
one of the highest performing school districts
in the country, with more National Blue Ribbon
schools this past year than any other district in
the State or nation.
Voter-Approved Funding Supports Top Academic Programs
SRVUSD’s award-winning schools are funded through a combination of local funding measures, State funds, and donations. Because the local community has historically approved local funding measures, local students have had access to programs that support their academic success and social emotional well-being above and beyond what State funding can provide on its own.
Multiple School Funding Sources Set to Expire
However, the District faces two reductions in available school funding in the near future. First, in 2025 a local voter-approved funding measure will expire.
Second, over the next two years, the District will have exhausted $6 million in State funds that have been supporting our schools. These funding sources currently support core academic programs, small class sizes, and programs that help ensure students are prepared for college and careers.
Potential Measures to Maintain a High-Quality Education To address the loss of these funds, the Board of Trustees of SRVUSD is currently considering placing two measures on the ballot. The first measure would renew the expiring parcel tax funding, at the current rate of $144 per parcel, per year. The second measure would address the loss of State funding, at the rate of $98 per parcel, per year.
Community engagement has always been a key tenet for SRVUSD, as we continue to broaden the definition of success on a foundation of academic excellence, so that all students can thrive. Our students are thriving when they are great students and happy, healthy human beings who are effectively prepared for the world after graduation. As we consider options for protecting high-quality education in our local schools, your input is important to us.

Sincerely,
Dr. John Malloy

Mandatory Fiscal Accountability and Local Control
Both measures would include independent citizens’ oversight, mandatory annual audits, and no funds spent for administrators’ salaries. All funds would be controlled locally and could not be taken away by the State. To ensure the measures are not a burden to those on fixed or limited incomes, senior citizens would be exempt.
