The folks with Prop 403 have put together a video that gets to the heart of the tax initiative with faces of some great local kids. Hopefully its message is enough to melt the hearts of anyone out there still wondering if they should support the TUSD override or thinks it foolish to pay more to improve schools.
Supporters of the initiative, Invest In Our Kids, are still organizing walkers in Tucson neighborhoods this weekend and next:
Join us every Saturday leading up to the Nov. 4 election to walk precincts and talk to voters about Prop. 403.
We gather at 8:30 a.m. and walk until noon from these two locations:
The TEA offices, 4625 E. Second St. (Turn west on 1st street off of North Swan between 6th St. and Speedway and then turn left on Benton St.) or Congressman Raul Grijalva’s HQ, 452 S. Stone Ave.

For the children???..Look at the last 10yrs. Tusd has never cared
for the children, its all about the money!..
Tusd has been loosing kids to private, homeschool, charter schools
and now they want to make it up with throwing more money at the
problem they have created.
Tusd would save loads of money just by getting rid of all the
dead weight. That would be the first step!.
