Money goes to a high school program that seems to be helping increase graduation rates.

for a complete list of our election recommendations.

Measure H would continue funding for the district’s College and Career for All Initiative, a districtwide high school program thatto real-world professions. The idea is to make classroom work more relevant by applying it to specific careers. Students are provided internships. Outside professionals provide some of the instruction.

The original ballot measure, Measure N, approved by voters in 2014, set a tax of $120 per parcel. That tax is due to expire in 2024. This new measure would extend the tax to 2037 and would add annual cost-of-living increases up to 5% per year. If, for example, the cost of living averages 4% annually, the yearly tax at the end of the 14-year period would be $200.

It’s understandable if Oakland property owners are reluctant to support the measure because they already feel tapped out by special school and youth taxes.
