We want to thank our community for their wonderful support of our schools. It's only through Bond funding that any school can build, modernize or substantially repair their spaces where kids learn. Santa Cruz' support of Measure B in 2016 is the only reason Gault Elementary was able to cut the ribbon on their new classrooms today, which replaced aging portables. Your support of kids has given them a wonderful space to learn, to gather and to grow. Thank you Santa Cruz!
