About YES ON A!
Q: What is Measure A?
A: After hearing from over 800 residents, local small business leaders, and community safety advocates, the Mendocino College Board of Trustees unanimously placed Measure A — the Mendocino College Career Training/ Affordable Education Measure — on the June 2nd ballot.
State universities cost six times more than Mendocino College. Not every student wants a four-year school — and not every family can afford one.
YES ON A upgrades and repairs our local campuses so students can get career training, earn job-ready credentials, or build the credits to transfer — all without crushing student loan debt.
In an affordability crisis, Mendocino College is a lifeline. Measure A keeps that lifeline strong.

Q: Does YES on A affect my safety?
A: Yes — directly. When you call for help, someone needs to answer. Our rural communities are facing a healthcare staffing crisis, and emergency teams are already stretched dangerously thin.
YES on A ensures students have the safe, clean classrooms and updated labs they need to train as the nurses, EMTs, and firefighters we desperately need, and to form the foundation to expand partnerships with local employers and hospitals like Sutter and Adventist so graduates can stay right here to serve our communities.
Q: What job training needs does Measure A address?
A: YES on A lets local students train locally and work locally.
Not every student is headed to a four-year university — and they shouldn't have to be. Our local economy runs on skilled tradespeople: electricians, welders, and green construction workers, and right now, we don't have enough of them.
YES ON A upgrades career and workforce training programs at Mendocino College so students can get the hands-on skills employers are hiring for today — without thousands of dollars in student loan debt.
Q: Is Measure A Accountable?
A: 100%! Every dollar — tracked, audited, and made public.
Measure A includes independent citizen oversight, annual financial audits, and full public disclosure of every expenditure.
By law, the only projects it can address are included in the measure. No backroom deals. No blank checks. Just the transparency our community deserves.
