On behalf of the San Carlos Educational Foundation and other parents present at the San Carlos school board meeting on Aug. 10, I'd like to emphasize that we support the upcoming school bond measure to provide much-needed funds for school construction and building upgrades. This letter is to correct the impression left by your paper about our respective positions on the proposed school bond measure. Your reporter's account made it appear as though we were against the bond. In fact, our concern was not with the decision to move forward with the proposal, but with the timing of it.
Our fear in including the bond measure in the upcoming November election is simply that the majority of the San Carlos school community is unaware of the need for a new bond and may reject it due to a lack of education on the subject. Though we understand escalating construction costs make timing of the essence, we believe there's a greater risk of the bond not passing because the school board trustees and the district will not have enough time to effectively communicate its importance.
The San Carlos Educational Foundation is always supportive of initiatives that make our schools better, be they bonds for improved building conditions and new classrooms, or measures to improve our district's curriculum. We will lend whatever support we can in getting the word out to the community to pass this bond. We sincerely hope it receives the required majority needed.
