To provide local and stable funding for our schools, the School Board is considering placing a parcel tax measure on the June 2012 ballot. This critical effort could bring over $5 million dollars to our schools over the next 5 years.

These are dollars can’t be taken by the State. So, every dollar would stay in our schools protecting our academic programs, retaining our quality teachers and keeping our libraries open.

To ensure success on June ballot, each Redwood City school is being asked to recruit at least 100 volunteers to “get the word out” (aka phone bank). Clifford’s Phone Bank nights are scheduled for Tuesday, April 10 and Tuesday, May 8 from 5:30-8:30pm.

To be part of the team that helps bring much needed funds to our schools, contact Joni Reicher, Clifford Parcel Tax Site Captain, at jbreicher@mac.com or sign up here.
