East Palo Alto and east Menlo Park voters also passed Measure C, a $10 million school bond to upgrade district schools, by 86 percent of the vote. It needed a two-thirds majority to pass.

Palesoo, who edged out Edward Moss by just under 200 votes, said he was happy to be reelected to the school board.

"It's good to maintain my seat on the board," he said. "We've done a lot of good stuff. I'm hoping to continue that." Palesoo, 40, is a counselor at a nonprofit job training center in Menlo Park.

Greene, 35, who is a Stanford administrator, could not be reached for comment Tuesday night.

Palesoo said the Measure C funds will allow the district to complete projects started by the 1996 Measure U school bond.
