It is a honor and privilege to share with you that Issue 3 passed by a margin of 59% to 41%. As you may know, these issues are difficult to pass in any school district, and our appreciation goes out to our resident taxpayers – THANK YOU! This means we will be able to build a new K-5 elementary school, improve safety, and maintain new and existing facilities.

Several months ago, an amazing and dedicated team of community members, parents, staff, and Board members came together to begin planning a levy campaign. Hundreds of volunteers, led by BC parent, Jen Sherman, took ownership of the issue and brought the energy and work ethic necessary to the table to make this issue a success. I have never worked with a more dedicated, passionate, and professional team than I did over the last five months. I have always believed the strength of our district is its people – students, parents, staff, Board, and community members – and that has been evident throughout this experience. Thank you to our community and all the volunteers for their efforts. Without this outpouring of support, we would not have been able to get our message communicated at the level in which we did. Our team stayed focused and communicated a consistent, emotional message about the issues facing our elementary students and staff. We will handle this success with class and professionalism by demonstrating our commitment every single day to always do what is best for our students while balancing the needs with fiscal responsibility.
