A 'yes' vote is in our best interest

| March 3, 2011 6:00 AM

My two sons and I are grateful beneficiaries of the Bonner County public school system. While the entire state of Idaho struggles with how to pay for a solid public education, it is nice to know that my yes vote on March 8 will continue to support the excellent public education we have in place for our children in our community.

Do Bonner County citizens realize that last year 95 percent of our students were proficient in reading on the ISAT and close to 90 percent were proficient in math? Also, 93 percent of Sandpoint High School seniors graduated last year. This is an accomplishment we should be extremely proud of and applaud.

Please vote yes on Tuesday, March 8, for the school replacement levy.  It’s in our community’s very best interest.
