Get levy information from reputable sources

I hope that by levy time in May people have done their homework and checked facts from good reputable sources rather than taking the word from persons who seem intent on spreading false rumors.

One gentleman asked if our administrators drive staff cars. Not in our district. He also asked if levy money will go to administrators and their assistants. Not in our district. We are operating on a bare bones budget that will only get worse if we can't get a levy to help with the shortfall.

By now you've probably seen some of the negative signboards around that point out why some patrons are against the levy. I've stopped to read them so as not to misinterpret their point. None of the reasons are valid. All of their points listed are simply not the truth. 

Again, check their points with sources that are truthful. Go to board meetings and listen. Go to the district office and sit down with staff or the superintendent. Ask them the same questions. Find out the truth and then make an informed choice. You'll feel much better for it.
