Burlingame Considers Renewing Parcel Tax for Schools…
In a move that is becoming commonplace in communities on the Peninsula, the City of Burlingame is considering parcel tax as a way to support its school system. Burlingame already has a $104 per year parcel tax in place that supports the Burlingame Elementary School District, but that tax expires in 2011. And with continuing State budget cuts, the School District will need these funds to avoid dipping too deep into their cash reserves.
Burlingame isn’t the only city who will be asking voters for help this year. San Carlos will be putting a $78 parcel tax on a special ballot in May, less than a year after a similar Measure was defeated. Redwood City is looking at taking similar steps as well.
Here’s some additional information on the Burlingame proposal, courtesy of The Daily Journal:
