    It's Time to Vote!
    It’s the final few days of the campaign for YES on Measure T!  Measure T requires a two-thirds majority to pass. Our students are counting on you to turn in your Yes on T ballot!
     
    As a reminder, ballots are due by May 6 at 8pm. In the final days, we have three critical asks:

    1. Return your ballot if you haven’t done so already! You have until May 6 to cast your YES on T ballot to protect our top high schools.

Remember, no postage is required.
    2. If you’ve already voted, text five friends to remind them to turn in their ballots too! Use the attached graphic!
