Letter to editor: In lieu of Q

Let’s come together, Ramona, and bury the hatchet. We need to help out our public schools, especially with budget cuts that will be necessary to pay off the C.O.P. (2004 certificate of participation construction loan).

Being in the black for the first time in several years does not mean that Ramona Unified School District can maintain this next year or the year after that.

I’ve pledged a donation of $250 per month to FORUS (Friends of Ramona Unified Schools) toward their health/safety/deferred maintenance projects and $250/month to RUSD to be used toward paying off the C.O.P. debt for the next nine years, until I retire from practice.

Please consider making a donation of time, manpower, or money — “IN LIEU OF Q!”

Jane Tanaka, M.D.
