Maintain support for schools
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.” – Dr. Seuss
As parents and members of a community, we care not only about our own children but for all children. One of the most basic necessities for children to reach their potential is an education.
Our public school system has been giving children this steppingstone to reach their potential and to achieve the American dream. A good education gives all children, regardless of their socioeconomic background, an opportunity to do and be whatever they choose.
I have been involved as a volunteer in the Central Valley School District and am amazed by the dedication and perseverance of the teachers, staff and administrators. My children’s teachers have not only inspired my children, but they have inspired me as well.
Please remember, this is not a new tax, it simply replaces the expiring levy.
Join me in voting yes for children.
