Full Text of Measure G
[The following was retyped by a Smart Voter volunteer and there could be errors. See your ballot pamphlet for the official version.]

"To prevent closing two neighborhood elementary schools and to minimize further reduction in staff, programs and supplies, shall the Union Elementary School District collect an education tax of $195/year per taxable parcel for four years, with exemptions for parcels owned/occupied by seniors (65+), with citizen oversight, and shall the District's annual appropriations limit be raised by such amount?

An exemption shall be granted for any parcel owned by one or more person 65 years of age or over who occupies said parcel as a principal residence, upon annual applications for exemption.

This measure will also increase the District's Gann Appropriation Limit in an amount equal to the levy of special taxes for said year, as permitted by Article XIIIB, Section 4 of the California Constitution. This increase is required for the District to use the revenues generated by the education tax."
