I’d like to reach out to the residents of Malibu who don’t have kids enrolled in our public schools regarding Measure A, protecting Santa Monica-Malibu schools. Studies show supporting your local public schools is a sound and effective investment. Real estate demand is directly correlated with the quality of a community’s public schools. Communities with strong schools tend to have robust economies, low crime, and engaged citizens.
On a personal level, I know several fantastic staff members at Malibu High School who are crossing all their fingers and all their toes hoping Measure A will pass. It’s their only hope of keeping their jobs so they can continue to guide our children. Measure A will appear on the May 25 all-mail ballot.
