• 2023 Measure A: Parcel Tax

    The Millbrae Elementary School District provides quality education to over 2,200 elementary and middle school students.  Thanks to strong academic programs in math, science, reading and writing, as well as highly qualified teachers, student test scores are well above the State's standard for excellence.

    Our district, however, is among the lowest-funded school districts in San Mateo County [SEE CURRENT LOCAL FUNDING]. A dedicated source of local funding supports 21st-century instruction in science, technology, engineering and math that prepares children to excel in high school and college and to compete in the global economy.  

    Measure A costs $125 per parcel and will generate approximately $925,000 annually for 9 years.

    Senior citizen homeowners and owners receiving Supplemental Security Income for a Disability, regardless of age, or Social Security Disability Income are eligible for an exemption from the cost of the measure. 
    All existing exemptions under Measure N will be honored upon the passage of Measure A, therefore re-application is not required.
