Why we’re asking: Everything costs more. Cities and counties can raise the local tax rate to keep pace, with no public vote required. That’s not a bad thing. It’s just how it works. Schools can’t do the same. State law caps what a district can raise, and anything above that cap needs your vote.

Why we’re here: Schools can only share the facts. They can’t tell you how they want you to vote. That’s where we come in.
