Parcel tax election is coming next week
For voters in the Los Altos School District, Tuesday, Nov. 7, is an election day.
The school district is looking to enact a $295 annual tax on each parcel of land within its boundaries. Measure A would replace a $295 parcel tax that voters passed in 2016 and would last for eight years. The measure requires two-thirds approval to pass.
