![The Palo Alto Unified School District board reviews new parcel tax renewal polling data at a school board meeting on Nov. 4. School Board member Allison Kamhi said she could foresee a shortened renewal timeline --- a period less than the current 7-year cycle --- if property and enrollment trends dramatically change.
“What I was finding interesting about it [the parcel tax] was this idea of putting it back before voters, if indeed, we find ourselves in a situation with drastically increasing property taxes and drastically decreasing enrollment,” Kamhi said. “But I am not convinced that we need that, given the polling and given the clear consensus that this is the right thing to do.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/IMG_0030-1-e1762790094978-1200x635.jpg)
