Reader: Fix problem at schools

We as a community have a chance to fix one problem at our schools. They are overcrowded. We need room for our students.

Our school and community population is growing, and it makes sense to have a plan which includes buildings that last rather than overpriced portables which require more maintenance and are less efficient for our children's education.

Vote yes, pass the bond, and we will still have the lowest school tax rate in Grant County.

There are problems with any school district. We are no different. Complaining or voting no on the upcoming bond won't fix anything. Voting yes will.

Comfort and adequate space matter to adults. Our students are no different. They do need adequate space for optimum learning.

It will cost us more if we cannot pass this bond. A levy would be easier to pass but would take more time and money.

I have yet to hear of any solutions as cost effective or which adequately address this problem.

Be a part of the solution. Join me and others and vote yes.
