Voters in Portola Valley will decide May 4 whether to renew a parcel tax for the school district in an all-mail election.
The Portola Valley School District serves about 500 students at Corte Madera School, for pre-kindergarten to third-graders, and Ormondale School, where fourth-to eighth-graders go.
This is the second attempt by supporters of Measure S to get a parcel tax approved. In March 2020, a renewal of the current $581 tax with a 3% annual increase failed, getting 64.45% of the vote. Parcel taxes need 66.67% of the vote to pass.
