School districts: County of Santa Barbara: special taxes.
Summary
Existing law requires, when a school district is reorganized and when the allocation of funds, property, and obligations are not fixed by terms, conditions, or recommendations as provided by law, the funds, property, and obligations of a former district to be allocated in a specified manner. Existing law authorizes any school district to impose qualified special taxes, as defined, within the school district pursuant to specified procedures. This bill would, when any school district in the County of Santa Barbara is in any manner merged with one or more school districts so as to form a single district, as specified, authorize the district so formed to continue to impose any qualified special taxes imposed in any former district, as defined, provided that specified conditions are met. This bill would also authorize the Santa Barbara Unified School District to impose a special tax within boundaries of the former Santa Barbara Elementary School District, provided that specified conditions are met and that certain procedures are complied with. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of Santa Barbara.
