Measure P, a proposed Jefferson Union High School parcel tax, was on the November 2, 2010 ballot for voters in the Jefferson Union High School District in San Mateo County.[1] It was defeated.
The tax, if it had been approved, would have been $96/year, lasting for four years. The school district said that between $3-$3.5 million would be generated each year for the district if the tax passed.
In the wake of the defeat, district Superintendent Mike Crilly said the district may have to make cuts that would lead to "a shortened instructional calendar, no summer school and counselor layoffs."[2]
Laurie Frater, a member of the school's board, said that they may try a similar measure in the future: "It was so tantalizingly close. I'm pretty sure we'll at least have a discussion about trying again."[2]
Subsequently, the school district tried again with Measure C on the May 3, 2011 ballot, but it, too, was defeated.[3]
