Save California Schools - Lower local parcel tax to a 55% majority Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/save-california-schools-lower-local-parcel-tax-to-a-55-majority.html Online petition signatures en-us Sun, 19 Apr 2026 12:56 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Dr. James Gregg [Signature #377] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/7260867?utm_medium=rss During the second term of Governor Pat Brown I served on his staff as Staff Secretary for Education. I also was a staff assistant to Wilson Riles, State Superintentent Public Instruction. In the years since our public schools have dropped from the best in nation to among the worst.

Our state funding of schools is now among the lowest of all states. We must provide local communities the opportunity to approve local tax support for their schools with 55% and not the current 2/3rds majority.
