School Board: Parcel Tax Meeting Tonight

The meeting is planned for 7 p.m. at Cornell Elementary School

A special meeting of the school board has been scheduled for tonight at the Cornell Elementary School Multi-purpose Room to discuss results of a poll and timing of a ballot initiative to renew the parcel tax (currently known as Measure I). 

The meeting will be at 7 p.m., according to the school district website.

"Preserve Funding for Albany Schools," a committee organized to work on the campaign, will be meeting immediately after the School Board meeting at 8 p.m. to discuss next steps. Everyone is welcome to join.

Sara Hinkley, who represents the "Preserve Funding for Albany Schools," says the "committee is working on renewing the parcel tax that expires in 2015. This tax generates $1.3 million for Albany schools every year. We will be discussing next steps in the campaign, fundraising strategies, communication needs, outreach, etc."
