CAN OUR SCHOOLS BE SAVED?

HOW DO YOU THINK WE CAN SAVE OUR SCHOOLS?

     Can the Ramona Unified School District (RUSD) be saved? Are we destined for a state takeover of the RUSD? Can our children count on a comprehensive education in the years to come? Will we be forced to surrender local control of our School District or are we destined for a state takeover? These are the questions on every Ramona parent’s and citizen’s minds these days. Thankfully, the recent dispute between the Ramona Teacher’s Association and the RUSD has been temporarily resolved, but black clouds are gathering on the horizon. As a community, Ramona will need to address this issue in the not too distant future.

     The Committee For a Better Ramona (CFBR) has posted its newest poll addressing the financial situation of the RUSD. We are interested in assessing the community’s thoughts on some options available to work towards a resolution of this critical issue, which we will then pass on to area decision makers. It all boils down to what the community will support. In order to gauge the public position, we need as many responses as we can get, so please take a moment to go to BetterRamona.net and respond to our School Poll! Our community’s future and the future of our children is at stake.
