Seidel Urges More State Aid for Schools in Alameda County
County Superintendent Vaughn D. Seidel notes stark wealth gaps among Alameda districts. He cites poorest districts with about $1100 per pupil in value and wealthiest with $112,000 per pupil, driving tax rates from 6 to 4 per $100 for elementary and 38 to 24 for high schools. Attendance grows faster than property value, requiring state funds as local taxes cover less. The state now supplies about 46 percent of needed finance, including last year’s per unit increase and constitutional guarantees.
