IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING MEASURE A:

The JM PTA adopted a resolution (click here for Measure A Endorsement) in support of the AUHSD Measure A at the meeting on March 10.  Measure A is the proposed emergency parcel tax that will raise the local funds needed to avoid severe cuts to core academic programs, including science and mathematics, at our four local high schools.    You can find more information, sign up to endorse the measure, work at the phone bank, participate in a block walk, write a Letter to the Editor, and join the e-campaign, all on the Measure A website at http://www.aboutmeasurea.org/endorsements.php.  Remember, Measure K, The Moraga School District Parcel Tax, passed by a mere 27 votes in March, 2004.  We learned first-hand of the importance of every vote!
