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.
