![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)
![Congress Delegate Kimberly Teehee speaks to the audience about the Cherokee Nation's fight for federal recognition during the Social Justice Pathway mural reveal in the evening on Monday in front of the 800s building. According to Teehee, she is grateful to Paly for providing the students with the opportunities and resources to impact their community. “I think it [the mural] says a lot about this school and how it nurtures and fosters students' ideas,” Teehee said. “I think [it] will impact students and teachers every time [they] walk by this mural. They'll know it because this institution gave the students the environment to thrive and finish a project like this and not hold them back. To me, it speaks volumes to how you foster young minds in teaching them, how to work together and how to come together, and put a project together from beginning to end."
