Schools and Communities First Campaign to raise $12 Billion for California Schools

Dear SLTA Members,
Thank you for participating in Phase I of our Schools and Communities First Campaign.  If CTA is successful getting this ballot initiative passed, we will create $11 Billion of new funding for investment into our public schools and community resources.  The new revenue would come by assessing corporate real estate at fair market value.  That will mean about $7 million for San Leandro Schools every year.

Most of you have already signed the posters to support SCF, and I would like to thank you all (especially site reps) for your patience with the faulty video link.  If you have not signed one of the posters, please go see your site rep.  For those who have yet to view the Information video, here is the link.
