Parcel Tax

We are grateful that our community has supported our district with local parcel tax funding for over 30 years. Our schools rely on local funding to maintain quality core academic programs, attract highly qualified staff and prevent class size increases. The most recent parcel tax, approved by our community in June, 2026, took effect on July 1, 2026 and expires on June 30, 2036. Residents who have an exemption for the prior parcel tax do not need to reapply for an exemption for the new parcel tax, as their exemption automatically rolls over to the new parcel tax. Parcel Tax Accounting Summaries for each year can be found in the Financial Information section above.  For information about a potential parcel tax renewal measure, click here. For questions, email admin@kentfieldschools.org or contact the District Office at 415-458-5130 x9.

Citizens’ Oversight Committee

The Citizens’ Oversight Committee monitors and audits the District’s bond measure and parcel tax expenditures. The committee informs the public of expenditures and reviews these expenditures to ensure public funds are used according to terms set forth in the ballot measure. Annually, the COC presents to the Board a comprehensive report that reviews the committee’s activities for the preceding year and the compliance with State law in regards to expenditures.

The committee consists of at least seven local residents from the following groups:

• An active member of the local business community
• An active member of the senior citizen community
• An active member in a bona fide taxpayers’ organization
• A parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the district
• A parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the district and involved with the Parent-Teacher Association.
