Vote Yes on Measure QS this November!

This school facilities bond measure will provide the funds needed to complete multiple repairs, improvements, and building projects throughout the district. Here is a list of the priority projects!

Many if not most of these projects are ready to go, some as early as December 2024. Several projects have already been designed, submitted to the state architecture agency, completed environmental review, and just await this important funding to begin.

There is a broad coalition of supporters, including our Classroom Teachers Association, parents, the Santa Monica-Malibu Council of PTAs, the League of Women Voters, local small business owners, seniors, stakeholders, the Santa Monica City Council, and the Santa Monica-Malibu School Board, all say: YES on MEASURE QS.

We need your help to organize the PTA Parent Room!
After last year’s flood, the room has been redone and our belongings have been moved back in, but it’s now quite disorganized.
Thank you for your support!
