MISSION BRIEFING • YOUR ORDERS, AGENT
01
When state politicians shortchange public schools, the costs do not disappear—they get taken out of classrooms. Question 2 could mean fewer teachers, larger classes, and cuts to arts, music, AP courses, job training, buses, and after-school programs that students and families rely on.
02
Parents and local voters—not politicians in Concord—should decide what their schools need and what their communities can afford. Question 2 would take that local control away.
03
Strong public schools help keep neighborhoods desirable and home values strong. Deep school cuts could put the home you worked hard to afford at risk.
