Measure R Passes!
Dear Community Members,
On behalf of all our children, certificated and classified
staff, and Board of Education, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the
voters of the Santa Monica-Malibu community for their overwhelming support of
public education.
Yesterday’s 72.54% voter approval of Measure “R” clearly
demonstrates your commitment to maintaining excellence in our schools.
This wonderful renewal will be celebrated by all at Juan
Cabrillo Elementary School, Edison Language Academy, Franklin Elementary
School, Grant Elementary School, McKinley Elementary School, John Muir Elementary
School, Pt. Dume Marine Science Elementary School, Roosevelt Elementary School,
John L. Webster Elementary School, Will Rogers Learning Community, John Adams
Middle School, Lincoln Middle School, Santa Monica Alternative School House,
Malibu High School, Santa Monica High School, Olympic High School, Adult
Education Center, Child Development Services, and our Community Day School.
The students at these 19 centers of learning will continue
to thrive knowing that the outstanding education they receive in their
classrooms is strongly supported by their communities.
We have set a remarkable standard for ourselves to continue
to provide the best education possible for each of our students, and your
support is deeply appreciated and greatly needed.
We look forward to seeing you at our schools’ many
performances of music, dance, and drama; on the fields cheering on the various
sports in which our students participate; and at the ceremonies this June,
recognizing the meaningful achievement of our elementary and middle school
students, and the graduation exercises at our high schools, where we wish our
seniors the best as they move out into the world having secured their
educational foundations in the Santa Monica-Malibu schools.
All this is possible because of your sustained belief in
World Class Public Schools for our children.
Thank You All Very Much,
Dianne Talarico
Superintendent
