Invest in Our Kids. Support Our Schools!

  • Many Sonoma County districts are in budget crisis, Harmony USD included.
  • Our district’s special education costs and mental health support caseload levels have both MORE THAN DOUBLED since the pandemic.
  • Rising costs and flat revenue have led to cuts to programs.
  • To make ends meet, the district ended its school bus program.

Measure M provides stable, local funding to protect essential student programs and services at Harmony Elementary and Salmon Creek School to help our kids and our community thrive.
