Children are our future, investing in their education positively impacts our entire community. Today’s students will be tomorrow’s teachers, doctors, or business owners. Investing in our schools ensures that more students will be college and career ready, possibly for the future UC Merced Medical School. Additionally, research in the Central Valley proves that quality public school facilities significantly improve property values and could encourage new businesses and more medical professionals to choose Merced as their home. Together, let’s improve our schools and improve our community!
