Why would we vote for the levy?

1. Because we would like to preserve the high quality of education being provided for all school children in Bonner County

2. So we could provide a full day of Kindergarten for children of Bonner County, not just the ones that can afford it.

3. So we can provide teachers and administrators with the equipment and technology upgrades necessary to preserve and advance quality education.

4. So we can have sufficient teachers councilors and staff to maintain reasonable class sizes.

5. So we can keep our aging schools in the best state of repair possible.

6. Because the school board and Shawn Woodward have gone overboard providing many public meetings clearly explaining the judicious use of levy funds.

7. Because we want to support our dedicated and compassionate teachers and school staff.

8. Because we believe the athletic programs and extracurricular activities enhance the development of well educated students.

9. Because we believe in supporting a first class education for all our children, grand children and soon to be great grandchildren. (WOW)

10. In order to keep our rural schools (Northside, Clarkfork) operational.

11. Because the new Levy will increase property taxes $6.00 per year per $250,000. Best Bang for the buck we know of.

12. Because we would rather educate than incarcerate.

13. Because mediocrity in education is unacceptable.

14. Because it is the right thing to do!

Please vote yes for the supplemental levy March 14.
