By The Los Altos School District Board of Trustees last week approved a new playground for Oak School that will be paid for and installed members of the school's PTA before the start of the next school year in August.

The board also discussed funding possibilities raised by increases in the current parcel tax. Members weighed the question of what funding increase would be supported by district voters. The district plans to ask for another increase in November after an April attempt failed by a slim margin.

The board plans to set the amount of the proposed parcel tax at its next meeting, July 22.

That meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Room 9 at the Blach Junior High camp school.
