I am writing to support the LPOSD plant facilities levy on Aug. 30. In short, this measure and the project that will follow is much needed and overdue in our community. I have seen the schools, walked the halls and sat in the classrooms that will be replaced, and it is time.

Unfortunately, this measure has become less focused on the facts and truths regarding failing buildings and more focused on personal attacks by a negative, anti-anything political group with a talent for distorting the facts. Let’s leave the fear-mongering, paranoia, negativism and conspiracy theories to the national political scene and focus on something that will have a long-lasting, positive effect in our community. Our students deserve quality buildings, positive community support and yes, even the “little jocks” deserve a quality place to go to school and participate in activities.

I encourage you to support the LPOSD plant facilities levy on Aug. 30.
