As a lifelong resident of Watsonville and current PVUSD Trustee for Area 4, I urge you to support Measure M in the upcoming election.
This measure is vital for our community’s future. As a proud Watsonville High School alumnus (Class of 2000) and parent of a soon-to-be graduate at Watsonville High School, I understand the importance of our schools and facilities.
Most of our family’s roots run deep in our local PVUSD schools.
My brothers and I attended Mintie White Elementary, E.A. Hall Middle, and Watsonville High. My grandparents, Bill and Roberta, were Watsonville High sweethearts from the Class of 1948.
Measure M will upgrade our schools’ infrastructure, addressing pressing needs. By supporting Measure M, we’ll:
– Improve classroom safety and accessibility – Enhance technology and educational resources
– Increase energy efficiency and sustainability
– Provide better facilities for students, teachers, and staff
Additionally, Measure M includes funding for teacher housing, helping retain local teachers and providing opportunities for future educators.
As a trustee, I’ve prioritized campus safety and security. Measure M aligns with this commitment.Â
By supporting Measure M, we’ll create a brighter future for all PVUSD schools, not just Mintie White Elementary, Radcliffe Elementary, E.A. Hall Middle, and Watsonville High (which I represent on the PVUSD Board of Trustees).Â
Every student, teacher, and staff member deserves modern, safe, and inspiring learning environments.
Drop off your ballot now or vote YES on M on Election Day!
I’m proud and honored to be your PVUSD School Representative.
NO ON M PVUSD needs to living within their budget! The homeowners cannot afford any more taxes on our backs!
I voted NO on M and am happy to say this. We just can’t afford another property tax hit. What Dodge fails to mention is the 20 Billion bond issue the state of California has on the ballot that will help all California school districts.
There are two bond issues on the ballot that will increase our property taxes, one from the county and one from PVUSD. How much more can seniors afford on a limited income?
Where is the $? At what point do you hold this city’s leadership accountable. Is Watsonville a better place to live now than in was 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago?
No on M!
I just got my tax bill and my property taxes have gone up more than my retirement income. Another reason to vote NO on all bond issues. Look at your tax bill and see how many are for the schools and also note that it looks like they are refunding the bonds whatever that means. All I know is with the water bill going up, our PGE going up again and now with PVUSD tying to get even more money from us when they get enough from state and current property taxes, how many of you that pay property taxes can afford another hike on your tax. I also pay more in income tax since Trump gave the rich a tax cut. We don’t get to deduct as much as we did before. Maybe I’ll turn my house into an Airbnb and go live in a tent.
Better off renting your home for $$$ that’s what I did. I can raise the rent sky high due to taxes and fees bypassing rent control. My rent income from Watsonville properties allows me to live in luxury in Texas. No crime no income taxes no worries. It’s a simple conclusion
I have noticed tons of signs at all schools promoting Yes on M. I wonder who paid for all these signs? Did the district use our tax dollars to spend hundreds of dollars for these signs?
That’s a great question I will bet they did my friend. More taxpayer money wasted
Watsonville pick pockets nothing new
