πŸŽ‰ Incredible News! πŸŽ‰

Preliminary numbers show 59.6% approval for the EP&O Levy!

We are overwhelmed with gratitude to our voters for showing up for our voters with your YES ballots.

And thank you to our amazing endorsers, dedicated sign wavers, and tireless CFFWS committee volunteers. Without your hard work, passion, and commitment, this wouldn't have been possible. You showed up day after day to make a difference!

While votes are still being counted, this STRONG showing demonstrates how deeply our community supports FWPS students and believes in investing in their future. This is what happens when a community comes together for our kids!

To everyone who came out and voted YES, THANK YOU! Your support means everything to our students and their bright futures ahead. πŸ’™

βœ… Extracurricular programs
βœ… Athletics
βœ… School safety measures

MLK Labor is proud to endorse this important levy. Please remember to vote early!

WEA members are committed to the safety and well-being of our
students, their families, and the communities we call home. Schools and
communities must be places of learning and belonging, safe for all. The presence of
ICE in our communities undermines this mission. https://bit.ly/3LYCKDA

WEA President Larry Delaney just finished testifying in Senate Ways & Means against the cuts in the Governor's budget. WEA members see every day how many unmet needs our students have. We need more, not fewer, resources to support them.
