Arguments For Measure L
We urge you to vote YES on Measure L.

Measure L provides more than $1,000,000.00 in urgently needed bond funds for the Peninsula Elementary School. Our school needs to be safe, healthy and secure for all students and the communty.

A yes on Measure L will stop our school's deterioration. It will provide for:

  • upgrading the technological capabilities of the school to enhance education
  • refurbishing deteriorating classroom
  • replacing inadequate electrical systems
  • repairing restrooms and deteriorating roofs
  • making the necessary structural repairs to insure our buildings are earthquake safe.

This is the first capital campaign ever. The district, in the past, has been able to fund the repairs and maintenance of the school without asking the voters for support. The district has cut costs, streamlined and has exhausted state funding source.

Let's show our students that we care about the quality of their education. A YES vote on Measure L would confirm that our community does indeed have the best interest of the children at heart.
