PTA pushing for lower parcel tax threshold
Poway Unified PTA members are joining state school groups to change the number of votes needed to pass a parcel tax - from the current two-thirds to a 55 percent majority.
If they gather one million signatures by early April, that initiative (which is not a vote for a parcel tax) would appear on the November ballot, said Lorene Joosten.
Joosten serves as the local Palomar Council legislative representative. That council is comprised of 36 units representing all the Poway Unified schools, except Abraxas, a continuation school.
