Local News in Brief : Tax Extension on Ballot
- Share via
Voters will be asked in November to extend for six years a $58 annual school tax on each parcel of land in the financially troubled Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District.
The tax brings in $1.6 million a year for the schools from the more than 27,000 parcels in the district.
With little debate, the Board of Education unanimously agreed to place a proposition on the Nov. 8 ballot to extend the tax, which is scheduled to expire June 30, 1989.
To be enacted, the special tax requires approval by at least two-thirds of the voters. When the tax went on the ballot in 1984, it won 69% of the votes cast.
