Voters have renewed the Measure A Parcel Tax that raises almost $1 million annually for the Los Gatos-Saratoga High School District in a mail-in ballot.
The result was made public on May 3, with an overwhelming 70 percent passing the plan that extends an annual tax of $49 per parcel.
Back in May of 2011, 73 percent of voters decided to pass the original Measure A parcel tax, which expired earlier this year. The aim of the tax is to provide the district the funds for top quality education and multiple school departments.
According to district Superintendent Bob Mistele, the renewal of the plan is estimated to bring in approximately $900K per year to support improved math, science, technology and engineering courses and to reduce class sizes.
The tax renewal has been extended until 2025.
