On May 21, vote yes on WBCSD levy

| May 17, 2024 1:00 AM

As we get closer to May 21 it's somewhat difficult choosing the best way to let people know how important voting is. It's your right to express your opinion and you should definitely exercise that right. 

We must cover the shortfall. Voting yes will do that. WBCSD is among the largest employers in Bonner County. Without a yes vote it becomes probable that our school district will have to provide a bare-bones education. If we can't provide good education it becomes a strong possibility we will lose students as their parents will most likely leave the area. 

People come here because of what we have to offer. One of the things they look at with a lot of scrutiny is the education available for their children. Before this last year or so what we offered was a strong education. Some won't agree with that statement but if you really dig into what was here before the turmoil caused by individuals who came in with their agenda and tried to overthrow what was good (and they came close) we had a successful system. 

Again space cuts down more that should be said. Just vote.
