The Scotts Valley Unified School District is one of the latest California school systems to voice support for legislation that would make it easier for communities to enact parcel taxes for schools.
District trustees on May 26 adopted a resolution in support of Senate Constitutional Amendment 6 by Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, which would reduce the voter margin to approve a parcel tax from a two-thirds super-majority to 55 percent.
