At its June 2012 meeting, the Governing Board will decide if it will call for this initiative to be placed on the November 6th ballot.· The proposed override will replace the District’s current K-3 Override re-authorized in November 2009 and the 10% Maintenance and Operations Override re-authorized in November 2007.
· The new 15% M&O Override will continue to support the programs that were added or maintained under the existing K-3 Override and 10% Maintenance and Operations Override. The District has operated with a 10% M&O Override since 1989, and with a K-3 Override since 2005.
The 15% Override will generate an additional $3,179,657 in budget capacity.
