Official plain English statement

Passage of Proposition No. 1 would allow Riverside School District to replace an existing educational programs and operations levy that expires at the end of 2027. The replacement levy will be used to pay expenses of programs, services and staff not funded by the State, including elective and advanced courses, vocational education, nurses, counselors, technology support, safety, security, performing arts, athletics, and extracurricular activities. Further information is available at: www.riversidesd.org. The proposed three-year replacement levy would authorize the collection of taxes to provide up to $3,996,811 in 2028, $4,116,715 in 2029 and $4,240,217 in 2030. The levy rate required to produce these amounts is estimated to be $1.58 per $1,000 of assessed value. The exact levy rates and amounts to be collected may be adjusted based upon the actual assessed value of the taxable property within the District and the limitations imposed by State law at the time of the levy. Exemptions from taxes may be available, call your county assessor for more information.
