Vote Yes on 3A

Education Spurs Economic Progress and Prepares Our Kids For Future Jobs

Passage of 3A will enhance education in BVSD, making our community a getter place to live, work, and start a business.  3A will generate $22.5 million in 2010 to:

Restore Classroom Funding $12 million will be allocated to restore recent & anticipated funding cuts.  The restoration of funding will help BVSD maintain or, as possible, reduce class sizes so that students get the attention they need from their teachers.  Superintendent Chris King has vowed the none of the funds will be used to restore cuts in central administration.

Compensate Teachers & Staff Boulder Valley must compete for the best teachers with Cherry Creek & other leading school districts.  To attract & retain high quality teachers & staff, BVSD must offer competitive salaries & benefits.  3A will mobilize $5.5 million for teacher & staff compensation.

Enhance Early Childhood Education & Close the Achievement Gap 3A will generate $5 million to give hundreds more BVSD kids access to early childhood education.  Early education is a key means of reducing &, in many cases, preventing the achievement gap.

This ballot measure is one of the key ways Boulder Valley residents can exercise local control, support public schools, & invest in our economic future.  3A would increase 2011 residential property taxes about $130 on a $350,000 home – or about 35 cents a day.
