School Board to Decide on Parcel Tax Measure
Piedmont Board of Education members are expected to ask voters to approve a permanent "school support tax," or parcel tax, in a special election next March.
When Piedmont Board of Education members meet Wednesday night, they are expected to approve placing a permanent school parcel tax measure before voters in a March 5, 2013, election.
To be decided Wednesday: whether the measure will be a flat rate or include the option of annual increases. Board members did not reach agreement on that issue at their last meeting.
The measure would require a 2/3 majority approval by voters.
