Ultimately the students determine the quality of the school.
FWIW, this proposed tax increase was about as poorly-timed as it could possibly have been. Middle and lower class families are seeing their paycheck cover less and less with rising prices and an ongoing recession. Even folks who would have otherwise supported the principle of more funding to keep and enhance an overall good educational system in LP could not get past this ballot initiative which would put a new sales tax in place for the foreseeable future--with sales tax rates going well over 10% for the first time ever here.

I do agree timing was not great

More like forever. Taxes like this are almost never repealed or reduced.
