Judge orders changes to language in Acalanes Union High School District tax measure

A judge this week ordered the Contra Costa County registrar of voters and Acalanes Union High School District to alter the title, analysis and ballot question language of a proposed parcel tax going before voters in a May 6 mail-in special election.

Measure T asks voters in the Lafayette-based district to increase parcel taxes to help fund advanced academic courses, attract and retain highly qualified teachers, prepare students for college and careers, and maintain manageable class sizes. The measure needs two-thirds approval to pass.
