When she and her staff develop material for presentation to the Board, she can use any or all of the groups mentioned above.

Given the compressed time frames we are talking about, the staff and Superintendent did an excellent job since this was the first time they have had to deal with developing a parcel tax measure for the ballot.

I have not heard that is going to change, Therefore, it follows that in 2010 we will have to submit a 3-year budget to the COE – How will we do that with all the parcel taxes ending in 2012? No one seems to want to answer that question, but it should have been a primary concern to the authors of Measure “H”. By the way - WHO WERE THE AUTHORS OF MEASURE H?
