Election News (Posted Oct 6, 2026)
The Palo Alto Council of PTAs has endorsed Measure J. Measure J is the ballot initiative on the November ballot in Palo Alto to approve investment in Cubberley Community Center. The measure approves a 1/2 cent sales tax (groceries and medications exempt) to fund approx $15.6M/year in revenue. The City Council has passed a resolution committing to spending that funding on purchasing the rest of the buildings from PAUSD and investing in infrastructure and upgrades to Cubberley. When passed, the city will borrow against this anticipated revenue and immediately begin the necessary work. The school district has endorsed this measure as has the entire city council and all members of, and candidates for, our school board. For more information, go to YesonJPaloAlto.com
