Editor,
Voting yes for the local school levy is an investment in our children's future and the foundation of our community. As a school board member and a parent with kids in the district, I have witnessed firsthand the positive impact that adequate funding can have on our schools. This levy is crucial for maintaining and enhancing the quality of education that our children receive.
With the funds generated from this levy, we can ensure that our schools are equipped with necessary resources, such as quality staff, high standard teaching materials, and priority for students safety.
Investing in our schools also means investing in our community's future. A well-educated workforce is crucial for local economic development and the overall prosperity of our community.
The state of Washington's education funding model is flawed, leading to significant budget shortfalls. A comprehensive overhaul is necessary in the meantime. We need to come together to support our schools and give our children the bright future they deserve. Voting yes for the school levy is a vote for our kids and our community. And I’m choosing to vote yes for my kids and yours.
