Susan,

Can the file for the signature sheets be attached to an email, so we can all
get them that way?

Subject: [Mjhsteam] Signature Collecters needed for ID Educators Penny Sales
Tax Initiative


At our parent group meeting last Tuesday, Penni Cyr and Ingrid Spence
spoke to us on behalf of the MEA about the statewide penny sales tax
initiative. Teachers and parents all over the state are collecting
signatures to help place an initiative on the ballot next fall so that
voters all over the state can decide whether or not to reinstate the
penny sales tax that the legislature sun-setted. The proposal is that
the extra money would go entirely for education. There are very
reasonable stipulations on what it can be spent on, and also
stipulations that the legislature can't decrease the current amount of
allocated education dollars to make up for it. It's estimated that the
Moscow School District would receive over $1 million more in funding if
this measure is voted in.

Across the state, 48,000 signatures are needed to place the initiative
on the ballot. MEA has asked for our help collecting signatures in Latah
county. We have information sheets and signature collection sheets
available for any parent willing to help. They are at Anne Peterson's
house (she lives behind McDonald school) and you can call her at
882-0252 to arrange to pick up a packet. Our local MEA would like the
sheets turned in by the end of spring break, but you can turn it in any
time before that. One note: they need us to keep signature sheets by
county, and not mix voters from different counties on the same sheet. So
if you will be collecting signatures in a different county, ask for an
extra signature sheet.
