New $376M Irvine property tax to upgrade aging IUSD schools
- Thread starter notTHEoc
- Start date
NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
The extra tax will likely only be paid by owners that reside within the old school attendance boundaries.
Mello roos don't work that way though...you can't use money from Stonegate Mello Roos to fix up school elsewhere.
Also...mello roos allocation for IUSD is not very high. It's usually around $35-50.
I think someone mentioned that there wasn't anything with those MRs to make them allocate to a school
Then WTF is TUSD doing up in OH? They are pillaging the Grove owners to the tune of over $200M+ in school bonds!

There is no way they are building $200M worth of school infrastructure in OH. They are going to use that money all over the district.
Why can't IUSD do the same thing will all the new TIC villages? Just add $300M-500M bonds to Eastwood, PS III-V, OH Neighborhood 3&4, GP later phases etc...

Say it ain't so....................... Irvine can squeeze money out of FCB who aren't eligible to vote?
I know IUSD has tried to put paltry taxes thru only to be voted down (even making old folks exempt) but I suspect now that they only need 50% of the vote instead of 2/3 it just might pass.

It seems weird that people wouldn't support a bond in IUSD considering it's a major selling point and point of emphasis for people who live in Irvine.

From what I remember of Measure A, there was a lot of politicking going on, even to the point where teachers were saying they would lose their jobs if we don't vote for it (it was also a tax on homeowners for IUSD).
It got Gandalf'd and what ended up happening is local businesses/people ponied up the money needed and all was good in Unicorn Land.
I think $376m is more than the previous needed amount but with many more new homeowners now than in the past, unsure of how this will go. I would think they would not vote for it considering they already pay MRs.
And maybe it's just me, but with all the MRs in the past 5-10 years going to IUSD, I think they can find $376m in there somewhere.

is that a guess or based on first-hand info?

It is a guess based on logic. MR money goes specifically to specified improvements and paid by only certain househoilds and similarly if the schools that will receive these funds are earmarked then the taxes should only be paid by those within their attendance boundaries. It might have been actually done that way in TUSD but difficult to verify because I doubt anyone who lives in Tustin and doesn't pay MR reads this blog.

That's what they say, but what did TUSD do with all the MRs from Villages of Columbus?Irvinecommuter said:

So I guess the Legacy/Greenwood schools are going to be cutting edge futuristic from all those MR funds that haven't been spent at VoC.
Maybe qwerchete's kids will be riding TUSD funded hoverboards to school.
