Vote Yes on Measure Local Funds Make San Carlos Schools
A
Strong
San Carlos schools are among the best in the state and our student test scores are high and continue to rise. Since 2003, voter-approved local funding has been a source of strength for our local schools' academic excellence. Measure A renews this local funding, without increasing taxes.
Measure A is the Source of Strength in San Carlos Schools If Measure A fails, the existing parcel tax will expire and local elementary and middle schools will have to make drastic cuts to academic programs, increase class sizes, and maintain only basic programs to meet minimum State requirements.
