I support Measure V because it will help raise the funds Union School District needs to provide high quality education for our students, supporting science, technology, math, engineering, as well as high quality reading and writing programs and programs in music and visual and performing arts. The District needs these funds to retain and attract highly qualified teachers and instructional support staff, and to continue to provide the outstanding education it provides. — Thomas Rossmeissl

Individuals

I totally back Measure V because it will generate the necessary funds to support programs in science, technology, math, reading, writing, music, and the visual and performing arts for schools in Union School District. Also, the funds are essential for hiring and keeping skilled teachers and support staff, ensuring the district maintains its excellent educational standards. Also, as a life long educator, I believe that education is not a linear process and is not limited to the classroom borders. It must be considered that each student will have differing levels of existing knowledge, and varying methods of learning. Therefore, it involves the effort of every single stakeholder to engage, support and provide necessary programs to meet every student's need. — Vahideh Abaeian
PhD holder in Management, Parent and Volunteer
USD provides stellar educational opportunities for our local youth, while receiving some of the lowest funding in the county. A yes vote on V can help maintain the results our residents have come to expect. — Marisa Black
USD provides an incredible value for the money residents pay to support the high quality education USD is known for. That doesn't happen by accident. Good schools = Strong Communities. — Erik Burmeister
Former UMS Principal
I support Measure V because I strongly believe in both STEM focus and a well-rounded education (Music & Arts). Also, this will help retain highly capable teachers in the schools my children attend. — Anirvan DuttaGupta
Guadalupe Elementary parent (grades 1, 5)
As a social worker and parent, I endorse Measure V to allow our diverse educational programming, critical educational intervention programs and mental health services/counseling to continue for all USD students. — Annie Grella
Carlton Parent

Guadalupe Elementary School Parent
I endorse Measure V to support our USD Schools and its excellent teachers, parent supporters and high education and club programs. — Surt L Lim
Parent
As a parent of an elementary school student, I wholeheartedly support Measure V because it plays a crucial role in ensuring our children receive a well-rounded education. Early introduction to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is essential for fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in young learners. These are the building blocks for their future success in an increasingly technological world. However, a truly comprehensive education must go beyond STEM. Programs that incorporate music and the arts are equally important for nurturing creativity, emotional expression, and cognitive development. Measure V ensures that our schools have the resources to offer diverse and engaging programs that captivate students' imaginations and talents across all subjects. To create these enriching experiences, schools need adequate funding to implement and sustain programs that inspire our children to explore both the sciences and the arts. By supporting Measure V, we invest in our children’s holistic development, setting them on a path to becoming well-rounded individuals prepared for the future. — Meghna Mittal
Parent Volunteer Lead for Math Olympiad
I support Measure V - for teachers, for continued valuable mental health support, for students. — Megan O'Connor
LMFT
I support maintaining a first-class education for our children in USD schools and its excellent teachers, maintaining class sizes, STEM and club programs. — Eileen Ong
Guadalupe Elementary School Parent
I have two kids enrolled in USD (soon to be 3) and support the investment in the local public school system as well as the teaching professionals who invest so much into the young people from our community who are tomorrow’s leaders! I proudly support and advocate for Measure V. — Brian Watson
Parent / School Advocate
Yes to high quality teachers, yes to quality reading and writing programs, math/science/tech/engineering, yes to manageable class sizes, and yes to extra support for our kids where and when they need it! Here to support the teachers and the students in our community. — Lia Wollen
