Who We Are

Investing in Students – Investing in Our Future

The Students First Coalition is a grassroots initiative led by parents and residents who support placing a revenue measure on the ballot to restore excellence in Santa Rosa public schools. A measure would generate local money to support public schools and students. To ensure fairness, the envisioned parcel tax measure would use a sliding-scale based on property size. All community members are invited to join this effort and help create a lasting impact on students in Santa Rosa.

Why Support Santa Rosa City Schools?

Strong public schools are a basic human right and the foundation of a healthy, thriving community. They create safer neighborhoods, strengthen property values and support the economic vitality of our city. Every child in Santa Rosa deserves the best education we can provide, and this measure will help make that possible.

Our Work

What We Are Working to Accomplish

We’re working to secure consistent, locally controlled funding that supports high-quality teachers, smaller class sizes, safe and modern classrooms, and essential student programs. Investing in Santa Rosa City Schools helps students succeed while strengthening neighborhoods, families, and the broader community.

Our Priorities

The Primary Issues
