MEASURE GG - PARCEL TAX RENEWAL

The LASD Board of Trustees placed Measure GG, a $223 parcel tax renewal measure, on the November 2016 ballot. Measure GG renews expiring funding to preserve current levels for LASD and supports all local public school students, including those attending Bullis Charter School.  To learn more please visit http://www.losaltos.k12.ca.us/District/8748-Measure-GG.html

Given the importance of this funding to our schools, parents from across the district are being asked to volunteer: making phone calls, walking neighborhoods, posting lawn signs, endorsing the measure and signing up for VoterCircle.  Here is how you get involved:

Phonebanking and Precinct Walking

Please use this link to sign up to make phone calls. Gardner's night to phone is Tuesday, October 18^th. If you are unavailable that evening, you are welcome to attend any of the events.  Please sign up to come help. 

Display a Lawn Sign

Parents will be out front of Gardner next week at pick-up with lawn signs.  Please stop by and pick one up to display your support to your neighbors.
