Your YES vote on November 4, 2008 will:

Build Safe & Modern School Facilities

Several of our facilities were built in the 1950s. We must complete the work that Measure C began by updating and improving our aging Truckee schools. Our children deserve safe facilities that support quality learning.

Foster Educational Skills for Today & Tomorrow

Fostering 21st century educational skills is critical for preparing our children for knowledge-based careers, enabling them to have living wage jobs today and in the future. Providing an enriched and stimulating learning environment requires modern technology and updated educational facilities. Supporting the academic, physical, emotional and social growth and the well being of our children is vital to Truckee today — and tomorrow.

Continue Our Commitment

Measure U is a continuation of the current $48 per $100,000 of assessed value tax rate that voters approved as Measure C in 1999. Measure U will extend the length of time that we pay that rate for an additional 27 years, but it does not raise the tax rate above our Measure C commitment.
