Our Mission
To preserve the outstanding education our children receive at Lakeside School. Without Measure A Lakeside School will be forced to close.
Thanks to the commitment of our community, and your generous support of Lakeside Joint School District’s expiring parcel tax, our mountain community has been able to provide an excellent education, with statewide test scores consistently in the top 5%. With the current parcel tax expiring in May 2017—and continued increases in educational costs—we are asking you to support Measure A. Measure A is $647/year, lasts eight years and cannot be extended without a new vote.
Measure A will preserve core academics, ensuring Lakeside students are prepared for success in high school and beyond. Exceptional teachers, dedicated parent volunteers, rigorous curricula under your local control have prepared Lakeside children to succeed in high school, college, and careers. We want that legacy to continue.
Unfortunately, years of unfunded government mandates and budget cuts have hurt schools throughout California, including Lakeside School.
Without Measure A, Lakeside’s parcel tax will expire, and Lakeside School will close.
Lakeside values your investment with strict taxpayer protections over Measure A:
- Seniors are eligible for an exemption
- No funds can be taken by the State
- No funds for administrator salaries
- Every penny stays local
- Mandatory annual audits by an Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee
Whether or not you have school-age children, investing in quality local schools is good for our property values and our community. Investing $1.77/day($647/year) in our local children and home market is a choice you won’t regret.
Please join community leaders, seniors, parents, teachers, and residents from every Lakeside neighborhood: Vote yes on Measure A!
