Sample E-Mail Asking 10 Friends to Join Yes on 38:
Hello friends and colleagues,
I am a parent of a child at [School Name] and a volunteer with the California State PTA, which is supporting Prop 38 on the November6 ballot.
Prop 38 makes schools a priority again. It guarantees billions of dollars for ourCalifornia public schools – money that goes directly to every school based onenrollment.
Under Prop 38, [INSERT SCHOOL DISTRICT] will receive [INSERT FUNDING FOR SCHOOL DISTRICT] in new revenue that will increase over the next 11 years.
Prop 38 means restoring smaller class sizes and classes in subjects like art, music, math and science.
Prop 38 gives parents, teachers, principals, school staff and students the ability to help decide what’s right for their school. Under Prop 38, all the decisions for how the money is spent will be made at the local level with public input. As a community we know our local school the best.
I ask you to join me, the nearly one million-member California State PTA, the California School Boards Association, Superintendent of Public Instruction TomTorlakson and 125 other organizations, and vote to endorse Prop 38 to bring clear, transparentenforceable funding straight to every California school.
Please also sign up at the website and become a part of our campaign to make our schools a priority again.
Thank you and remember to VOTE YES on 38 on November 6!
