Describing the proposed one-half cent sales tax as a “Win-Win” for students and the public school system,  all concerned want voters to remember the following reasons to vote in favor of the sales tax:

  •  Provide technology to give all students an equal educational opportunity.
  • Allow all citizens to contribute to the educational suppport of our students.
  •  Generate funds for schools from non-resident shoppers.
  •  Maintain schools in their new condition and allow for future remodeling and expansion.
  •  Expand student course offerings to include industry certifications.
  •  Update communication and technology infrastructure.

 

Vote YES
