Parcel Tax Committee

On November 6, 2012, the Ventura Unified School District received approval from City of Ventura voters to implement an annual $59 per parcel tax levy to support educational programs for a period of four years. On November 8, 2016 and again on November 3, 2020, voters extended the parcel tax another four years. The District established a Parcel Tax Oversight Committee (PTOC) since inception of the parcel tax pursuant to its desire to assure the community that parcel tax dollars are expended in a manner consistent with the ballot language.

The PTOC is charged with providing oversight and accountability on the expenditures funded by the parcel tax to ensure that the said funds are spent for the purposes approved by the voters. The PTOC will meet at least semi-annually to monitor the expenditures of these funds by the District and will report to the Board of Education and the community, on an annual basis on how these funds have been spent. An annual audit will be a part of the PTOC’s report to the Board.

7-11 Committee

The Board of Education appointed the 7-11 Advisory Committee to assess the district's options and provide input on behalf of the community about the best uses of district real property not needed for school purposes and could be considered for other uses. During the last meeting held on October 21, 2020, the Committee approved their final report to the Board of Education and will be presenting it during the board meeting on November 10, 2020.
