VOTE ON NOVEMBER 8TH!!!!
PTA is a non-partisan association with a long track record of speaking up for all children and connecting families, schools and communities. We encourage everyone to take the opportunity to register and vote. Please remember that PTA NEVER endorses or supports individual candidates running for office.
However, PTA does consider and take positions on statewide initiatives that impact the education, health and well-being of California’s children and families.
PTA supports and encourages you to vote YES on the following ballot initiatives this November 8th:
- PROPOSITION 51 — SUPPORT School Bonds. Funding for K-12 School and Community College Facilities. More information.
- PROPOSITION 55 — SUPPORT Tax Extension to Fund Education and Healthcare. More information.
- PROPOSITION 56 — SUPPORT Cigarette Tax to Fund Healthcare, Tobacco Use Prevention, Research, and Law Enforcement. More information.
- PROPOSITION 58 — SUPPORT SB 1174 (Chapter 753, Statutes of 2014), Lara. The California Education for a Global Economy Initiative (California EdGE). In 1998, voters approved Proposition 227 requiring that all students be taught in English, and that English learners be taught in sheltered English courses. This initiative deletes the sheltered English provisions. It requires students be taught in programs with access to core academic standards, and that school districts provide effective and appropriate methods for language acquisition. Parents and guardians may choose language-acquisition programs that best meet the needs of their children. More information.
- PROPOSITION 63 — SUPPORT Firearms. Ammunition Sales. (Limits access to the kinds of guns and ammunition that can kill large amounts of people in a short amount of time). More information.
