Foundation Leaders Urge Support for Sarasota County Schools


Foundation: Community Foundation of Sarasota County

The county of Sarasota has been amassing superlatives for some years now, and it has consistently been ranked at the top of national lists for the greatest places to live, work, retire, visit, and more.

Please consider supporting the Citizen for Better Schools referendum to "Keep the A" on March 8 if you are a forward-thinking citizen who participates in local elections.

As a result of maintaining the "A," our students in Sarasota County will benefit from an extended school day, enabling seniors to graduate with four more credit hours.

We have a strong commitment to our schools, teachers, and kids, and we will continue to do so.

On March 8, please vote "YES" to renew the millage and continue to support our Sarasota County public schools.

Let us demonstrate that we are a community that is focused on the future and places our kids at the top of our priority list.

Visit www.sarasotavotes.gov for additional information on the referendum scheduled for March 8.
