  Help needed for Final “Yes on GG” Push! 

Burlingame School District is among the lowest funded in San Mateo County, on a per student basis!

Measure GG is on this November’s ballot. It’s a proposed parcel tax to raise funds for teacher salaries, so BSD can offer competitive compensation and attract and retain high quality teachers. 

We need your help to get GG passed in support of our teachers and students!

3 ways to help Measure GG succeed on Nov 5th!

1. Learn the basics of Measure GG.  More info can be found on the GG website and in background info from BSD.
2. Vote YES on GG in this November’s election.  2/3 of Burlingame voters must vote in favor of GG, in order for it to pass.
3. Distribute GG fliers. Bring a friend and walk your neighborhood!
   
   

Thank you for your support!

In partnership with the First Partner’s Office and the Natural Resources Agency, State Parks is offering the California State Park Adventure Pass, which provides free entry for fourth graders and their families at 54 state parks throughout the state. A fourth grader from California attending a public school, and their family (up to three adults and other kids) and friends (everyone in your car) can enjoy all sorts of adventures at state parks during your whole fourth grade year—and the following summer, too. This pass is valid for the one-year period during which the child is a fourth grader or fourth grade equivalent attending a public school from September 1 to August 31 of that year. To obtain the pass, parent(s) or guardian(s) can go to ReserveCalifornia.com or call (800) 444-7275. You will then be prompted to set up a profile by providing your name, address, phone number and email address, and you will be sent a free California State Park Adventure Pass through email. Individuals who do not have access to a smartphone, computer or printer and/or do not have an email address, can still get a pass by visiting a State Parks Pass Sales Office.
