| Arguments For Measure C |
|
Our community has generously supported a local parcel tax benefitting public education since 1984. This support has enabled the Shoreline Unified School District to maintain quality programs in the areas of art, drama, music, foreign language, physical education and technology. Your parcel tax has kept our school libraries open, funded the hiring of classroom aides and counselors, as well as the purchase of text books and materials to enhance core academic instruction that improves math, reading and writing skills. Your parcel tax will allow the community's students to continue receiving services and instruction in these areas, along with continuing specialty programs that enrich their total educational experience.
As the challenges of providing a high quality public education for our community's children continue to build, so does the importance of maintaining these vital programs. These classes provide our children with the knowledge and skills they need to in a very demanding world. A balanced education is critical in order for students to develop into educated and contributing members of our society. The programs that are supported by Measure C can only be maintained by the continuation of this Parcel Tax. These important programs cannot be funded through the general budget given the severe cuts in education funding in the State of California. Measure C will provide stable funding for these important programs that cannot be taken away by Sacramento. Remember, Measure C is not a new tax, but rather a continuation of the support the community has given to its schools since 1984. Please join us in the commitment to provide the best education possible to our students by voting YES on Measure C.
