Invest in CV schools

We have voted yes for Central Valley schools. Why?

1. The teachers are passionate about education.

2. The staff cares about our kids.

3. The school board and administration are excellent stewards of public funds.

We have paid taxes to support CV schools for almost 20 years, but we don’t see it as paying a tax. We see it as investing in our kids and our community.

We have received much for our investment. The last of our children will graduate this spring from CV High School. And even though they will be done with kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and high school, we will gladly continue to invest in Central Valley schools.

We will continue to invest because Central Valley schools will continue to provide excellent educational opportunities for kids in a safe environment. Central Valley schools will continue to improve our community. And they will continue to do it without raising taxes.

We’ve already voted yes for Central Valley schools. We urge you to do the same.
