Measure P, the $246 parcel tax benefiting schools in the San Carlos Elementary School District, received 68.3 percent support from the 6,822 voters who participated in the all-mail election, according to final results offered by the San Mateo County Elections Office.
Unofficial results available on Tuesday, May 5, indicated the tax received only 67.6 percent support of voters, marginally above the 66.7 percent support threshold necessary for approval.
Under voter approval, the tax will extend Measure B, a $78 per year tax passed in 2009, which is set to expire in June, and increase it by $58. It also bundles the tax renewal with Measure A, which voters approved at $100 per parcel in 2011. The new tax is slated to expire in 2021.
