“To maintain and improve the quality of education”. Does that mean more parking lots and football stadiums?
The tax, called Measure V, will go before the voters on the November 8 ballot. It asks for a $60 tax per parcel for four years to fund academic services and programs.
If approved by two-thirds of the voters, it would eventually replace Measure X, a $35 parcel tax passed by 70.84% of Pacific Grove voters in 2008. The new measure would add roughly $230,000 per year to the budget beginning in the 2012-2013 year, according to the PGUSD website.
District officials said Measure V will be used as a mechanism to maintain and improve the quality of education in Pacific Grove.
