Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,

I am writing this letter to encourage every voter in Columbia County to vote yes for the two Dayton school levies on the ballot. We need to have the maintenance and operation replacement levy pass to maintain the programs we currently have in school. This replacement levy represents about 25% of the schools total budget and needs to be passed to keep to keep our students moving in the right direction as they get ready to go out into the world. By passing the IT and Capital Levy, the school will be getting some much needed repairs that include a new communications system for the grade school; new doors for security and the hiring a K-12 school counselor. I was talking with a friend the other day who stated the obvious: “We need to pass these levies; we need a strong hospital; a strong school and then we will continue to have a great city.” So, please vote yes for the school’s levy’s on the February 9 ballot to keep Dayton a place where people want to move to and raise their families.
