Please join me in voting yes for the College Community school district bond issue on Tuesday. I consider it a great blessing that my soon-to-be kindergartner, Hannah, has the opportunity to join an excellent school district. The staff and facilities set the tone for the learning environment.
Continuously increasing enrollment has increased class sizes at CCSD and predicted enrollment has the potential to greatly compromise instruction. The time is now to make an investment in our facilities and support building a new elementary building.
Remember, voting yes results in no school-related tax increases. Thanks to sound fiscal management, our district is able to fund this vital project at the current tax rate.
