Peninsula schools going to voters for cash

Smaller class sizes, retaining qualified teachers and maintaining libraries are just some of the benefits the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District will see, school officials say, if a parcel tax increase is approved by voters in February.

The elementary school district, along with Burlingame Elementary School District and the San Mateo Community College District, is among school entities on the Peninsula going to voters for more revenue — or considering asking for more — in order to support the education of local students.
