Thank You for Levy Support

Dear Editor,

On behalf of the students, staff and Board of Directors, I would like to extend a big thank you to the patrons of the Waitsburg School District. The overwhelming support and passing of the recent Replacement Maintenance and Operations Levy will enable the District to continue to sustain the programs and services it has previously offered. Extracurricular activities and athletics allow our students to gain experiences beyond the classroom that will enhance their growth and development. The District will also seek to extend early childhood opportunities to the preschool aged children of our community. Additionally, the ability to maintain building operations will provide an educational environment that supports student learning and achievement.

Although it was not approved, the Board and I are also encouraged by the strong support for the proposed Capital Projects Bond. The District schools and properties are the pride of Waitsburg and we are so pleased that our community indicated such. The variety of proposed projects were designed to not only support student learning and achievement by improving the classroom and school environments, but also, to provide improved facilities for use by the entire community. The Board is committed to engaging the community in further conversation to determine how best to ensure a future bond election results in approval.

For those of you who put signs of support in your yards, thank you! It would be appreciated if you would either return those signs or save them for future elections.

It is so gratifying to be a part of such a supportive ‘one-of-a-kind’ community!

Carol Clarke, Superintendent

Waitsburg School District
