The AUSD Board of Trustees voted (5 to 0) to place a parcel tax dedicated to increasing employee salaries on the March 23 ballot that includes Alameda charter schools. Section 18 of the AUSD Board resolution states: 9.5% of the Available Revenues of this Measure shall be dedicated annually to supporting Alameda students in Alameda's public charter schools in existence at the approval of this Measure. This revenue shall be annually distributed to existing charter schools in proportion to each charter's enrollment of Alameda resident students and shall be used for the same salary purposes as other Available Revenues collected through this Measure. |
