Arguments For Proposition O	Arguments Against Proposition O
Our elementary school is one of the most important assets in our community and should be a top priority. From higher achieving students, to greater neighborhood safety and improved property values, quality schools make a difference. While our teachers and staff do a great job in educating our children, there are school facilities at the Vallecitos School District that are outdated and inadequate to provide students with the environment they need to succeed. This is why our children need your YES vote on Measure O! Although Vallecitos Elementary School has been well maintained over the years, aging classrooms and facilities must be upgraded since many do not meet 21st century standards. Measure O would allow the District to improve our elementary school and the quality of education provided to local children. By investing in our school, we can meet today's safety, technological, and educational standards and improve our community. If passed, Measure O will provide funding to make facility improvements at Vallecitos Elementary including: Repairing/replacing leaky roofs Repairing or replacing outdated heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems Making health and safety improvements, including security fencing Upgrading and renovating 50-year old classrooms and restrooms Increasing student access to computers and modern technology Measure O makes financial sense and protects taxpayers. All funds must be spent locally and cannot be taken by the State. By law, spending must be reviewed and annually audited by an independent citizens' oversight committee. Funds can only be spent to improve our elementary school, not for teacher or administrator salaries. Measure O upgrades and renovates old and inadequate school facilities, improves the education of local children, and maintains the quality of our community. That's something we can all support.

Tax Rate Statement from Superintendent

As shown on the enclosed official ballot, an election is being held in the Vallecitos School District ("District") on November 4, 2014, for the purpose of submitting to the registered voters within the District the question of whether the District shall issue and sell bonds in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000 for the purpose of providing funds for the specified school facilities and school projects as set forth in the resolution of the District calling such bond election. This measure will authorize a tax sufficient for payment of interest on, and redemption of, the bonds. The bonds shall bear interest at a rate, or rates, to be established at such time as the bonds are sold at fixed or variable interest rates not to exceed the maximum applicable statutory rate for such bonds. If such bonds are authorized and sold, the principal thereof and the interest thereon are a general obligation of the District, payable from the proceeds of ad valorem taxes on taxable real property located within the District. The following information is submitted in compliance with California Elections Code Sections 9401 through 9404 based on estimates of assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement: (a) The best estimate from official sources of the tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the sale of the bonds, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement or a projection based on experience within the same jurisdiction or other demonstrable factors, is $0.03000 per $100 ($30.00 per $100,000) of assessed valuation. It is estimated that this tax rate would apply in the 2015-16 tax year. (b) It is currently anticipated that the bonds will be sold in one series The best estimate from official sources of the tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund such bond issue during the first fiscal year after the final sale of the bonds based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement or a projection based on experience within the same jurisdiction or other demonstrable factors is $0.03000 per $100 ($30.00 per $100,000) of assessed valuation. It is estimated that this tax rate would apply in the 2015-2016 tax year. (c) The best estimate from official sources of the highest tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issues during the term of the bond issue, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement or a projection based on experience within the same jurisdiction or other demonstrable factors, is $0.03000 per $100 ($30.00 per $100,000) of assessed valuation. It is estimated that the highest tax rate would apply in the 2015-2016 tax year based on assessed valuations available at the time of this filing or a projection based on experience within the same jurisdiction or other demonstrable factors. Voters should note that these estimated tax rates are based on the assessed value of taxable property within the District as shown on the official rolls of San Diego County, not on the property's market value. In addition, taxpayers eligible for a property tax exemption, such as the homeowner's exemption, will be taxed at a lower effective rate than described above. Actual future assessed valuation will depend upon the amount and value of taxable property within the District as determined by the San Diego County Assessor in the annual assessment and the equalization process. Property owners should consult their own property tax bills and/or tax advisors to determine their property's assessed value and any applicable tax exemptions. Attention of all voters is directed to the fact that these estimates are based on assumptions and projections derived from information obtained from official sources. The actual tax rates and the years in which they will apply may vary depending on the timing of any bond sales, the amount of bonds sold, market interest rates at the time of each sale of bonds and actual assessed valuations over the term of repayment of the bonds. The timing of the bond sales and the amount of bonds sold at any given time will be governed by the needs of the District, including the legal limitations on bonds approved by a 55% vote. The actual interest rates at which the bonds will be sold will depend on the bond market at the time of the bond sale. Actual future assessed valuation will depend upon the amount and value of taxable property within the District as determined by the San Diego County Assessor in the annual assessment and the equalization process.
