Measure E Update
|
As many of you know, Measure E is on the November 3 ballot to extend an existing parcel tax measure that funds critical investments in our schools. Measure E supports core programs in math, science, technology, reading and the arts. In addition, this stable funding allows for class size reduction, textbooks and technology upgrades that help us attract and retain the highest quality teachers.
Measure E merely extends an existing measure. It does not raise tax rates and all funds raised stay local in our school district for our students. The state cannot take it away.
