The Santa Clara Unified School District became a Basic Aid district in 07/2000 and therefore must rely on funding from property taxes rather than funding from the state based on the number of students attending its schools. With the development of the Moitozo Property, the Santa Clara Unified School District will see an influx of 250-400 additional students attending its schools. Because the district relies on property taxes for its funding source, it will not receive any funds to educate these students from the State of California and all property taxes will go to the City of San Jose because the property is in a redevelopment area. The Santa Clara Unified School District has determined that it is not in the best financial interest of the district to retain the Moitozo property within the jurisdictional boundaries of its district. The potential cost to Santa Clara Unified, after this property is fully built upon, would be over $1 million per year.

An agreement to a territory transfer of the Moitozo Property from the jurisdiction of Santa Clara Unified School District to that of Orchard School District and East Side Union High School District has been separately approved by each of the involved districts. These two other districts, since they are funded directly by the State, will receive around $5,000 per child to educate the children from this area. The Santa Clara County Committee on School District Organization has also approved the transfer of the Moitozo property. A waiver to begin educating the students in this area at Orchard and East Side Union High School Districts has also been approved by the State.
