R1a

The governing boards of the school districts listed [...] should include information about parcel tax exemptions and application procedures via public outreach to communicate with those who do not have access to or are uncomfortable using the Internet. Examples of outreach include newsletters from the school district to residents, newspaper articles or ads, and postings at libraries and senior centers. There should be at least one such communication annually timed near the sending of property tax bills. Campbell Union School District's Response The Senior Center was the only one outreach posting that was missing from the recommendations. The recommendation has not yet been implemented, but will be implemented in the future once local senior centers can be identified.

R1b

The governing boards of the school districts listed [...] should have a link on the home page of their websites to direct users to information about the parcel tax, available exemptions, and instructions and required forms to apply for an exemption. The link should include the words "parcel tax." Campbell Union School District's Response The recommendation has been implemented, and the link is on the district web page.

R2

The governing boards of the Santa Clara County school districts listed [...] should review and revise as necessary all forms required to apply for or renew parcel tax exemptions for clarity and accuracy. Campbell Union School District's Response The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted or is not reasonable since our exemption form is clear and there were no comments from the users on the clarity or accuracy of the form.

R3b

The governing boards of the Santa Clara County school districts listed [...] should develop an online process for the submittal of parcel tax exemption and renewal applications. Campbell Union School District's Response The recommendation has not yet been implemented, but will be implemented in the future when the District implements online forms this fall.

R4

The governing boards of the Santa Clara County school districts listed [...] should make exemption application forms for parcel taxes prominently available on their websites and in their offices year round. Campbell Union School District's Response The recommendation has been implemented with the addition of the forms on our website. Making the forms available on our website and in our offices was established when we started the process last year.

R5

The governing boards of the Santa Clara County school districts listed [...] should agree on a standard date when applications for exemptions and renewals are due. Campbell Union School District's Response The recommendation requires further analysis; all districts in Santa Clara County would have to agree, and we do not know if this is possible. Our due date is June 30, and the information is due to the County on July 1. Half of the districts are using June 30 as their deadline as well, so we believe our date meets the requirements.

R6

The governing boards of the Santa Clara County school districts listed [...] that require renewal of parcel tax exemptions should initiate the renewal process by mailing an exemption renewal form and accepting renewal documentation by return mail. Campbell Union School District's Response The recommendation has been implemented from the start. The District should not have been listed under this recommendation. We have been doing all of the exemptions by mail.
