The decisions we make at the ballot box shape the future of our schools!

Voters will decide on State Question 847*, a statewide proposal that would slow the growth of local funding for teachers, classrooms, school facilities, and essential community services—with no dedicated replacement funding identified.

Understand what's at stake. Make your voice count. VOTE November 3!

*The CCOSA Executive Committee has voted to NOT support this proposal.
