![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)
![A small crowd gathers in front of Palo Alto Unified School District's boardroom, hours before the doors open for tonight's meeting. According to community member Sara Woodham, she is coming in support of Danae Reynolds, who was impacted by new board member Rowena Chiu’s recent online activity following the previous board meeting earlier this month. “The part that is truly concerning or worrisome is the use of social media to characterize that meeting and essentially re-tweeting a website that had all these flagrantly racist posts at the time of the reposting,” Woodham said. “It essentially led to Danae [Reynolds] getting even more threats and racist commentary. I also find it ironic because what spawned from the notion that Rowena felt unsafe is that Danae literally became unsafe, and it really became dangerous for her.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/364A0041-1200x800.jpg)
