This bond will increase homeowners’ taxes by about $19 per $100,000 assessed value.  Our district’s current bond rate is lower than our 7 neighboring San Mateo County school districts because we have not passed a bond since 2013. In that time, our neighbors have passed 13 bonds to maintain their facilities.  MPCSD’s new bond will bring our taxes to a similar level as our neighbors.  Investing in school facilities keeps our schools strong and makes our community desirable for families.  Strong schools protect our property values.
