萨克拉门托市联合学区包裹税计票落后 每年95美元的M措施未达三分之二门槛或落败
萨克拉门托市联合学区的包裹税提案M措施在11月5日的计票中可能落败。据EdSource援引《萨克拉门托蜜蜂报》报道，在已统计约30%选票的情况下，M措施仅获微弱多数支持，远未达到通过所需的三分之二超级多数。
M措施拟对每宗地块每年征收95美元包裹税，每年筹集约1000万美元，用于特殊教育与早期干预项目。学区无限制普通基金中用于特殊教育的支出，已从2018至2019学年的7360万美元增至2025至2026学年预计的1.723亿美元，学区同时面临2.22亿美元的结构性赤字。
计票仍在进行，最终结果须待全部选票统计并认证。若提案落败，学区须另寻办法填补特殊教育经费缺口。（来源：萨克拉门托市联合学区）
Sacramento City Unified parcel tax Measure M falling short of two-thirds threshold in early count
Measure M, the Sacramento City Unified School District's parcel tax proposal, appeared headed for defeat in vote counts reported on November 5. With about 30% of ballots counted, the measure held only a slim majority, far short of the two-thirds supermajority required to pass, according to EdSource, citing the Sacramento Bee.
Measure M would levy a $95 annual parcel tax raising about $10 million a year for special education and early intervention. The district's unrestricted general-fund contribution to special education has grown from $73.6 million in 2018-19 to a projected $172.3 million in 2025-26, and the district faces a $222 million structural deficit.
Counting continues, and results are not final until all ballots are tallied and certified. If the measure fails, the district will have to find other ways to cover special-education costs. (Source: Sacramento City Unified School District)
