Lake Tahoe Unified School District Measure A appeared on the June 3, 2008 ballot in El Dorado County, California, where it failed. Had it passed, it would have created $87 million of new debt for the school district.^[1]

The bond would have taxed 3.87 cents per $100 of assessed value of a person's property, or $38.70 per $100,000.

The ballot language says, "To provide safe, secure local schools by replacing outdated portables, electrical, emergency and lighting systems, aging plumbing/restrooms; improving classrooms, technology and elementary school libraries; creating new career and technology education classrooms; upgrading physical education and athletic facilities; and qualifying for $11 Million Dollars in state matching funds, shall Lake Tahoe Unified School District issue $87 Million in bonds at legal interest rates, with annual financial audits, citizens' oversight, and no money for administrators' salaries?"

After Measure A's defeat, the Lake Tahoe school board voted to put Measure G on the November 4, 2008 ballot. Measure G asked for $64.5 million. It was approved with 59.42% of the vote.
