Our members spoke up on Facebook about our values and influenced the election.
We invite School officials and parents to respond in public or come to our meetings
to work on the items we identified as the reasons for voting NO:
Republicans in Clare County seek:
Rock-star academics—every kid reading & math-ready by 3rd grade
Parents in the driver’s seat—full curriculum transparency & opt-out power
Zero gender/sexuality lessons in early grades—let kids be kids
Real school choice—your tax dollars follow your child
Merit pay for great teachers & chronic absentee fixes
Smart spending first—we're already footing 3 bonds totaling 3.24 mills on our property taxes for Harrison Schools
Crystal-clear plans only—no vague proposals like the recent one asking for $7.17M with fuzzy "uses?" and no hard goals. Give us specifics, or it's a hard pass!
Locked-in costs—that "approx. 0.9 mills" could shift later; we want guarantees, not maybes
