Dear Taylor Families,
I hope the first few days of school are off to a great start. We know there is a lot of national buzz around the November 5 election but did you know the Millbrae School District has a BIG measure on the ballot as well?
Measure J is an important bond measure that our schools need in order to make much needed facilities and infrastructure updates that could NOT happen without funding from a bond.
A few quick facts:
The bond measure would raise $95 million for our school facilities and infrastructure. Previously, the state has funded about 40% of school repairs and construction; this is now 100% the responsibility of school communities! Every student in all our five schools deserve to be in safe, up to date classrooms and school grounds.
We need a 55% YES vote to pass. The district's last attempt to pass this bond in 2022 fell short by just about 70 votes! We have a powerful school community - let’s aim to WIN Measure J for the benefit of our students.
What we need from you:
We cannot stress how important it is to get this bond passed - we cannot make necessary repairs and improvements to our schools without it. Every helping hand and every vote matters.
Please reach out to the campaign chair, Joy Pasamonte Henry, if you have any questions!
