So, as most taxpayers fortunes fall and the economy is going to take time to recover, let's waste money putting tax increases on the ballot to bail out teacher/administrator pensions. I suggest this all gets tabled. I hope the failure of the latest prop 13 pours a huge dose of reality over the Superintendent. Sounds like the current board is thankfully a little more realistic.

Where does this end?
I agree with New Guy above.

No more parcel taxes! Period! Get your financial house in order and figure out how to live within your means like the rest of us.

Over half of the local tax and bond measures are failing from this last election. Wake up MPCSD! People won't be feeling as charitable with the slowdown and COVID-19. Stop wasting our money on political consultants. Revenue and property taxes have grown tremendously but has been outpaced by spending. Stop ignoring the real problem: pensions and MPCSD's compensation philosophy that is compounding the problem.

The "distance learning option"closures provide a great opportunity for parents to get closer to their children while maintaining a social distance from the larger population. For those in the MPCSD, which is a basic aid district, keeping your child out of school will save the district beaucoup bucks! It's time to de-institutionalize our children. Enjoy your home fulltime! Reclaim your right to be a daycare person without a government permit. And, stop the board from putting more tax measures on the ballot!
