Dear Culver City Schools Community,
We are a group of El Marino Language School parents/caregivers in support of Measure E. But, as members of the CCUSD community, we are deeply invested in the future of the children at all of our schools, not just our own.
Our community is facing a crucial decision at the March primary election. We have the opportunity to support a school bond that promises to be transformative for our educational institutions and, by extension, for the entire community. This bond is not only about falling ceiling tiles, leaky roofs and flooded classrooms; it’s about investing in our future as a society.
Our schools are the cornerstone of our community. They’re where friendships are formed, ideas are nurtured, and dreams take flight. Yet, despite the tireless efforts of our educators, our schools are facing significant facility challenges. Most of the school facilities date back to the 1950s and haven’t had significant renovations in decades. Crumbling ceilings and foundations, leaky roofs, flooded fields, kitchens that don’t pass health inspection and old wiring must be fixed. Public school districts have limited options when it comes to financing essential school facility improvements, and the State provides minimal assistance. Outdated facilities and inadequate resources are just some of the obstacles our students and teachers face on a daily basis. These challenges not only hinder academic achievement but also dampen the overall learning experience, stifle the spirit and jeopardize our children’s future.
We have the power to change that! By supporting this school bond, we can ensure that our schools have the facilities that they need to thrive. We can invest in modern classrooms, science labs, instructional technology, and libraries. We can provide our teachers with the classrooms they need to support quality instruction and to inspire and educate our children effectively. And we can create safe, welcoming environments where every student feels valued, empowered to succeed and that fosters pride in their education.
We urge you to join us in supporting this bond. Look for Measure E as part of the Presidential Primary Election Ballot, arriving in mailboxes starting the week of February 5th. Your vote matters now more than ever. Together, we can ensure that every child in our community has access to the quality educational facilities they deserve. Together, we can build a stronger, more vibrant community for all.
Please, join us in our efforts! We would love to have you. For more information visit our website, www.excellentculvercityschools.org. For volunteer opportunities, and lawn signs, visit www.excellentculvercityschools.org/get-involved.
