- Sacramento Bee's Endorsements '08: For Davis, 'Yes' on Measure W - Approving parcel tax will preserve a tradition of good schools.

- The California Aggie Editorial

"Our community is all about quality schools. We have outstanding educational programs that distinguish our schools because of our long tradition of community support. Together we can continue this tradition with a YES vote on Measure W."

~Judy Davis, former Davis educator and principal

"Voting yes for Measure W will
provide long-term protection for
classroom programs and teachers' jobs."

~Janet Berry, Davis parent and community leader

"Davis schools gave all of us a great head start... Measure W is about whether our schools keep doing that for kids today. We hope you join us in supporting Measure W -- it's what makes Davis different. We are so grateful to this community that cares so much about education...."

~Mark Inouye, Fine Arts, accomplished jazz and classical trumpeter, Class of 1989

~Dave Scott, Athletics, monumental career as the most recognized athlete and coach in the sport of triathlon, Class of 1972

~AJ "Bud" Henle, Faculty/Staff, legendary coach, teacher, administrator and student athlete, Class of 1942

"Nothing is more important in this fragile world than providing a deep and broad education for our children."

~Jacqueline Clemens, Davis community member

"We all know that we have a choice this year. Either we make measure W work, or there will be layoff notices early next year. It's that simple."

~Spencer Elliot, Davis English teacher

"We have a well-run school district, and voting for W is a good step for ensuring a bright future for our children."

~Dick Dorf, University professor emeritus

"There is no question that Davis is a great place to raise kids and our schools are a big part of that. Quality education is one of the top attractions in Davis, and that's what Measure W is about. In the long run, quality schools mean better neighborhoods and a stronger sense of community, both of which help keep our property values high and our economic opportunities strong."

~Kim Eichorn, Davis realtor

"Measure W is a rarity, a good, well thought-out tax. It is transparent, the School Board is accountable, and it supports current education programs, which are vital investments in the Davis community."

~Glenn Holderreed, Community member

"Davis schools gave my kids the resources they needed to achieve their full potential--it is a duty and a privilege to pass it on to the next genertion."

~George Galamba, Davis parent

"Measure W gives our kids what they need to succeed - and it is also an investment in our community that just makes sense."

~Ashley McNaughton Nicholson, Davis educator

"I want all children to receive the same top-notch education my grandchildren received in Davis, and I know there is an exemption for my friends who need it."
~Rose Calabria, Senior and grandparent

"Measure W will maintain the programs the community values and keep the teachers that deliver them."

~Amy Schulte, Davis educator

"I taught in Davis schools for over 30 years. More than ever, our schools need Measure W to save essential classroom programs. Please vote yes on Measure W."

~Mary Surkala, Senior and retired educator

"I believe $120 a year for three years is the best investment I can make right now in my kids' future."

~Pamela Martineau, Davis parent and educator

"The children that we are teaching today are the future scientists, doctors and presidents of tomorrow and Measure W helps protect these students' educational futures."

~Jessica Suey, Former Davis student

"The breadth of classes offered at Davis High School gives our students the foundation to pursue their dreams in college, the workforce and a life beyond. Our excellent teachers are the architects of that foundation."

~Helen Spangler, Davis parent and educator

"My children have benefited from the excellent educational opportunities DJUSD has provided. Their experience through the elementary science specialist program has sparked interest in the natural world around them."

~Clark Bryant, Davis parent and educator

"I feel good that W has a senior exemption for those that need it. W is needed to avoid lay-offs and protect classroom programs, but the senior exemption will protect those on limited incomes."

~Herb Bauer, Senior and Citizen of the Year

"It seems unconscionable to deny our children the right to a full education, with reasonable sized classes and able teachers; to give them the opportunity to discover the arts, sciences and music; to explore filled libraries and become computer literate. Quite simply it seems unconscionable not to provide for our children the kind of foundation for their future that most of us took for granted when we were children. $120 is a very small price to pay for such an immense yield."

~Anne Dunlea Hawkins, Davis community member

"Our kids deserve the same opportunities that the rest of us have enjoyed at Davis schools. W is simple: It keeps our schools whole. Without W, we all lose."

~Dan Wolk, DHS graduate and community member

"Last year was a new experience for many of us. We faced the loss of a lot of good teachers when those pink slips went out."

~Sharon Owings, Davis educator

"The fiscal crisis in DJUSD is a reflection of the crisis faced by California and by the nation. The crisis must not result in the students of today receiving a lower quality education than students in the past. Measure W provides our community an opportunity to respond to this need locally, as we continue to advocate for quality public education for all children"

~Janice Bridge, Former Davis School Board Trustee

"Science in elementary school opens children's eyes to the physical world in a way that no other subject can. The doctors, researchers and engineers of tomorrow are born in the classroom science labs of today."

~Leslie Whiteford, Davis elementary science teacher

"Every dime from Measure W is an example of taxpayer accountability: Every dollar will go directly into the classroom, and a citizen’s committee will oversee all expenditures. That's just good management and how government programs should work."

~Mike Newell, Business president.

"Our children deserve the very best education we can provide."

~Martha Beetley, Davis educator

"Last year, our school board made some tough cuts and I trust new superintendent Dr. James Hammond and new chief business official Bruce Colby to do a strong job of delivering more for every dollar in our classroom than other districts around us. Measure W is simply about whether we care enough to protect our schools - or whether we shortchange our Davis kids. That's the choice."

~Jim Belenis, Certified financial planner

"We can't ignore the cuts facing critical programs in our schools today. Yes, we pay a bit more each month - less than 2 coffees - but it's a much-needed investment in our children's future."

~Lisa Navarro, Davis parent

"The cost of not supporting Measure W will directly impact all our children. Especially in this current climate of economic uncertainty, we need more than ever to at least insure that the reputation and excellence of our schools remains a constant. As it is said, 'it takes a village,' and collectively we all benefit by passing Measure W. Voting yes for Measure W is a vote for the future of Davis.


~Jill McElroy, Davis parent

"For twenty-plus years Davis has paid a bit more to preserve quality schools. We know how important W is for all the students we see in our classrooms every day."

~Eric Morgan, Davis high school educator
