ABOUT MEASURE m

The fiscally responsible time to update our schools is now.  Join teachers, business owners and community leaders in supporting Measure M to provide our local students with safe, modern learning environments.

Vote YES on Measure M for locally controlled funding to repair and modernize San Marino Unified Schools – without increasing taxes.

We are proud to live in a community that has one of the top performing unified school districts in the State of California. Our neighborhood schools are integral to keeping our property values and community strong.  

However, some of our schools were built over 50 years ago, are aging, and need basic safety and technology updates and repairs. This past year, schools flooded due to heavy rains, and some classrooms didn’t have sufficient heat or air conditioning to support healthy learning spaces. Other infrastructure is past its lifespan, yet limited educational funds must be spent to maintain it.

Measure M will provide locally controlled funding to fix our schools, upgrade our classrooms, and improve access to educational technology. These investments will help support student achievement in all grades and ensure our neighborhood schools serve our community for decades to come.

  • Money cannot be used for administrator or teacher salaries or pensions

  • Provides critical funding without increasing existing taxes, at rates less than competing districts
