  • Time is marching on for our kids’ education!

    Measure U will bring $1.9 M in stable, local funding to Redwood City schools every year for 14 years to strengthen academics and retain high quality teachers. To win we need to raise $15,000, now, so we can get our message out to targeted voters before they get their mail-in ballots on October 11. That’s just a few weeks away. Most voters return their ballots within a week, so time is really short.

    Almost 90% of registered voters in our district do not have children in our schools, so getting the message out to them is the only way to see victory for Measure U. Your contribution today is essential to keeping local funding for our schools and guaranteeing our children receive a strong, high quality education for years to come.

    Please make your contribution today at: www.betterrwcschools.org.

    The children and community of Redwood City thank you!

    P.S. Time is marching on! Let’s make sure it’s marching to victory for Measure U and victory for the children in the Redwood City School District.
