Past and present board members will debate tonight (May 18) whether voters should approve an $800 parcel tax for the Palo Alto Unified School District.
Former board members Todd Collins and Ken Dauber are against Measure B, arguing the tax is unnecessary because the district has over $100 million in reserves.
Current board members Shounak Dharap and Rowena Chiu support the tax. They will argue the revenue is necessary to maintain strong programs and avoid teacher layoffs.
The debate starts at 7 p.m and will last about an hour at 25 Churchill Ave. The debate will be moderated by Terry Godfrey, who was on the school board from 2015 to 2018.
