Measures AA & Z are crucial for the future of our community's education system. They will provide essential funding for upgrading and modernizing our schools, ensuring that students have access to safe, state-of-the-art facilities that foster learning and growth.
Our schools districts are responsible for the safety and education of 7,300 students, across 18 schools with over 950,000 sq of facilities. Unfortunately, state codes have crippled school funding. Compared to the greater Bay Area, Petaluma City Schools rank near the bottom in per student spending. These measures will change that, and demonstrate Petaluma cares about our students, by providing long overdue upgrades to our schools.
With Petaluma's schools facing aging infrastructure and increased enrollment, these investments are vital to maintaining high educational standards and preparing our children for future success. By voting YES on AA & Z, residents can help create a brighter future for all students and ensure that Petaluma remains a thriving, educated community.
