CdA levy merits approval
I would like to voice my support of the replacement levy for School District 271. Passage of this levy is necessary to continue programs already in place that benefit all of the students in the district. This type of levy is not asking for additional funds; in fact, it is asking for $1 million less than the replacement levy this community passed two years ago.
As a parent of two elementary students and someone who is in the schools helping out on a weekly basis, I have seen the benefits of some of the programs supported by this levy. I have seen improvements in children’s ability to read and do math; I have seen the impact that music and art programs have on kids who might not normally be interested in those programs.
It may be a tough time to pass a levy, but we can do it. If we support the programs that provide quality education for our children, they will be better prepared to become more productive members and future leaders of the community.
Please vote yes on the replacement levy on April 21.
