The article discusses the dual crises of climate change and educational funding in California. It highlights how families are suffering due to rising insurance costs and lack of availability, reflecting a system where they bear the brunt of climate-related disasters instigated by polluters. On the educational front, school board presidents advocate for Measure T, emphasizing the importance of local funding to maintain high standards in schools that benefit the community and property values. Both issues demonstrate a need for legislative action to protect families and enhance educational outcomes.
We're paying for preventable disasters we didn't cause. Our homes are burning, and floods and drought are crushing small businesses, while insurers pull out and polluters who knowingly fueled this crisis rake in record profits.
The climate emergency is a fossil fuel problem, yet it is families, not polluters, who are stuck with the bill.
We collectively urge you to vote yes on Measure T for high schools in the Acalanes Union High School District.
Local parcel tax funding has not increased in 15 years and supports excellent teachers, manageable class sizes, advanced placement classes and academic counselors.
