To the editor,

I am writing to show our family’s support of the new school levy. I am concerned that as the bond vote happened so recently, people will either be confused or will not remember to vote. Community support is crucial.

Please remember this is not a bond, it is a renewal levy. The current Maintenance and Technology Levy is about to run out. We need to renew it as our schools are completely dependent upon local levy support in order to provide for technology operations and classroom maintenance. Technology skills are now basic skills necessary for any career and essential to success in college.

Existing facilities need to be well maintained, and general fund dollars provided by the state are insufficient to meet district commitments for adequately maintaining and caring for the district’s buildings and grounds. This levy is absolutely critical to ensure the district can take care of what we have.

Thank you.
