We can't wait for the state to get its house in order.

We must join together now to help our children get the best education we can provide. Our kids depend on us to make sure they get the excellent preparation they need for success in the 21st century.

Passing this millage means investing in our community, too. Strong schools attract jobs. Companies want to locate in communities with cutting-edge school systems and a highly qualified work force.

We must act locally to help our schools stay strong - and open. By voting yes, we are raising money for our schools that stays right here in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County.
