I am writing in support of the two school levies, which are on the ballot for the upcoming Feb. 8 election.
These levies are not new; they simply replace the existing ones which were voted on and approved by the community in 2018. Even better is that the combined estimated rate for these replacing levies comes in at a lower cost to taxpayers. As a parent of three students in the district, I want to ensure they get the best education, extracurricular activities, after-school programs, mental health resources and technology available.
If we leave it solely up to state funding without the help of these two levies, we will be selling our students short.
I am committed to better than “good enough” state funding and I hope you are too. If you have children, grandchildren or friends with students in the district or support quality education and a stronger community, vote “Yes” on Propositions 1 and 2.
