SLUSD May Reconsider Budget After Court's Decision on Parcel Tax

San Leandro schools will less likely see the $12 million in parcel tax revenue from voters later this year, after a State Court's decision on its parcel tax has caused officials to rethink their budget plans and legal options, according to The Daily Review.

San Leandro Unified School District board of directors will look at their monetary and legal options at a meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday after the State Supreme Court declined to review a lower court's ruling deemed a similar parcel tax for Alameda schools illegal for taxing property owners at varied rates, The Daily Review reports.

David Brillant, a Walnut Creek attorney who filed a lawsuit against Alameda's school district, also filed lawsuits against San Leandro Unified and West Contra Costa Unified earlier this year, along with six other districts alleging their parcel tax measures were also illegal for not applying the tax evenly to all taxpayers, The Daily Review reports.

San Leandro will work on a plan of action before meeting with Brillant for a conference hearing this summer, The Daily Review reports.
