<p><strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Berkeley’s
Schools Need Measures H & I</span></strong><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
<br>
</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The
Berkeley High PTSA strongly endorses Measures H & I, and encourages all<span
class=apple-converted-space> </span>Berkeley<span
class=apple-converted-space> </span>parents and community members to vote
“yes” on both of these ballot measures. These measures are critical for
the maintenance of our current facilities and to upgrade them as needed.<br>
<br>
The Measure H parcel tax and the Measure I bond will not increase the cost of
the school taxes and bonds<span class=apple-converted-space> </span>Berkeley<span
class=apple-converted-space> </span>citizens have been recently
paying. Measure H is simply a renewal of a parcel tax that is currently in
place, and Measure I issues new bonds to replace Measure AA bonds as they are
retired. For more information see the PTSA website: <a
href="http://www.bhs.berkeleypta.org/pta/101016-handi.htm">http://www.bhs.berkeleypta.org/pta/101016-handi.htm</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>We hope you
will join us in supporting<span class=apple-converted-space> </span>Berkeley’s
schools by voting “yes” on Measures H & I.<br>
