I would like to urge voters in our community to extend the existing Educational Programs and Operations Levy. It has come to my attention that if this levy does not pass, our public school district will have to cut $1.92 million out of existing, already financially strained programs.

My affiliation with our school district has allowed me to recognize the immense value that our community support brings to our future leaders. My hope is that you will join me in voting “yes” for schools.
