Our schools – Arundel Elementary, Brittan Acres Elementary, Heather Elementary, White Oaks Elementary, Arroyo Upper Elementary, Mariposa Upper Elementary, Central Middle School, Tierra Linda Middle School, and San Carlos Charter – consistently rank among the top in the state.  All of our schools in the San Carlos School District have been recognized as a California Distinguished School. However, without adequate funding, they are at risk.  

It’s not an expense problem; it’s a revenue problem.  The state’s funding formula underfunds San Carlos School District.  In fact, we’re among the lowest funded in the county & state.  Without renewing our Parcel Tax, about $3 million dollars will disappear from the SCSD budget, leading to teacher layoffs and increased class sizes that will impact our students’ daily experience.

Fortunately, our community has consistently approved local, parcel taxes to protect our exceptional teaching staff.
