Alameda Education Foundation Statement on Measure A Passage

Thank you Alameda!

By over a two to one margin, you showed your support for continued quality education in Alameda. The fact that current economic conditions made this a difficult choice for many indicates our community’s willingness to sacrifice to ensure that Alameda students have the educational resources, programs and conditions they need for success. Thank you to the Alameda SOS campaign committee who did an exceptional job of galvanizing the community to pass Measure A.

Finally, thank you to all in the community who supported this measure. We are inspired and energized by your commitment to education and pledge to continue to do our part to support music, art, drama, science, athletics and other programming that supports the highest quality educational experience possible in Alameda.

The Alameda Education Foundation (AEF) would like to extend a special thank you to our business friends. Not only do many of you regularly support AEF programming in our schools through events and fundraisers, but you took a stand in favor of Measure A. You, like us, realize that thriving schools are necessary for a strong community and a promising future for all of us.
