It seems one parcel tax measure for Petaluma schools will pass while another will not. Election results are nearly final for the 2024 March Primary with Measure E passing at 68.5-percent approval and Measure B failing at 63.5-percent approval. Each needs two-thirds vote to pass, or 66.7-percent. Measure E, the one that is passing, is an $89 parcel tax for the Petaluma City Elementary School District, raising $1.4-million annually for 8 years. Meanwhile, the failing Measure B would’ve raised $2.2-million per year for Petaluma high schools. At this point, the Press Democrat reports that these results will stand due to the statistical impossibility that the uncounted ballots will change the outcomes.
