CONCORD'S BRIDGE TO BETTER SCHOOLS
A Forum on Budgets and Buildings
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2004  7-9 PM

* Do you know how the 2005 Concord Public School Budget will affect K-5 students?
* Do you know Thoreau School students could be attending classes in the 
           old Alcott School starting this September?
* Do you know only 45% of registered voters with school age children 
           voted in the September 2003 override election?
* Do you know how to cast an absentee ballot?

     This is not only about your child's education.  It is about educating yourself about our schools and our future.  Get the information, get the facts, and get what you need to get out to vote.  Now is the time to demonstrate the value of Concord's educational heritage, and reconfirm our commitment to our children and their future.

Your Vote Counts



Results from a recent report contracted by the League of Women Voters studying Voter Patterns in Concord.    indicate that parents with children in town are voting less frequently than voters from homes without children.  Parents are encouraged to vote in town elections and ballots and
make your voice count!
