We can't afford to lose what the levy supports

I am writing in support of the upcoming school levy.

No, it is never easy to vote for tax increases of any sort. But, the proposed supplemental levy will continue the funding of one-third of the staff in the district, as well as all extracurricular activities. These are people and activities that we do not want to lose.

As or more important, in this age we live in, technology needs will also be funded by the levy. We need to continue the stellar job our educators are doing, especially at the high school level. Vote yes.
