On November 5, 2019 voters in Sunnyvale will have the opportunity to vote in a special Tax Ratification Election. If passed, the TRE would generate additional general operating revenue funding measures that were recommended in SISD’s recently adopted Strategic Plan. The proposition would not result in a tax rate increase for voters. 

This election addresses needs identified as long-standing priorities by the Sunnyvale community including: ensuring that class sizes remain below the state average, providing competitive teacher salaries for educators, maintaining student programs and course offerings, and securing student safety and wellness.

These priorities were identified in the recommendations from the board-adopted SISD Strategic Plan, which was created by a group of 150 Sunnyvale community members, teachers, parents, administrators and students. The plan is the blueprint for SISD’s next 3-5 years. 

“We have always considered our community our strongest ally in the education of Sunnyvale students,” Superintendent Doug Williams said. “The goals that will be funded by the TRE are a direct reflection of the expectations of our community.”
