Ross Valley School District parcel tax measure fails

Measure E, a proposal to renew and increase the Ross Valley School District parcel tax, has been defeated, the county elections office said Wednesday.

The measure needed two-thirds voter approval to pass. The latest count has it at 62.62%

The measure needed about 300 more yes votes — assuming no additional votes against — to reach 66.67% majority, said Lynda Roberts, the Marin County elections director.

The elections office had about 45 ballots left to count as of midday Wednesday, Roberts said.
