WEB VIDEO RELEASED BY YES ON I & J CAMPAIGN FOR GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS
Video Stars Thankful Students from Santa Cruz City Schools’ Elementary, Middle and High Schools
SANTA CRUZ—The Yes on I & J campaign today released a new web video featuring elementary, middle and high school students who express their gratitude for having voter-approved librarians and counselors at every school K-12 in the Santa Cruz City Schools District, as well as art and music programs at every elementary school in the district. Measures I & J renew existing, local parcel taxes that support these programs. Failure to pass the measures would result in a loss of funding for libraries, librarians, counselors, teachers, art and music.
