I got this in my e-mail today, thought I`d encourage voters to make an educated decision and VOTE! Our school programs are already being cut. Ashton is going into Jr. High next year here is Gilbert AZ and the electives are pretty limited. Things I loved and felt made school more interesting and fun (like Drama) are already cut! If they don`t get help, what is next to go? I`m not telling you which way to vote, but just TO VOTE!
I`m voting YES! to Prop 101 because I want my kids to have the kind of public education they deserve.
Here`s the e-mail:
Dear GPS Parent,
The Governor and the Legislature have proposed a temporary sales-tax increase of one cent to go directly to schools, health and human services, and to public safety. Many of you have asked about the impact of Prop 100 on Gilbert Public Schools. The following links will provide you with current information on the GPS budget and the impact of Prop 100.
