•November 4
•January 13
It isn't often one can point to a single event, and sa> “ This
will make a significant difference in our future." The up
coming Morrow County school less election is in fact one
such event
You might say it's just a money issue, like any other
budget, and it has heen voted down before like other budgets
Hut the significance of this levy election goes well beyond
“just another budget "
In times of social change, the schools, especially local
schools, are often the first focal point ol that change After
all. we can all relate to the schools. Most ot us were once
students, and many of us have children now in the system.
Add to that our right to vote and the election becomes forum
reflecting the state of our communties
There is no doubt there are changes occuring in our com
munities now , in fact you almost need a program to keep
up with the debates and controversies However, defeat of
this school levy will do nothing solve our problems It will
do nothing to bring us closer to any solutions. It you ex
amine the levy request, you will see there is a relatively minor
amount of money involved in comparison to the amount of
division, animosity, and friction it will cause, not only with
the adults in our community, but with the students as well
The school district administration, the school board and
teachers who work in our district have taken a hit ol hut
feting this year. Not having an approved school budget, hear
ing the criticism of the schools, and wondering and plann
ing what should be done, is not a pleasant way to spend your
time, and most importantly it was time which should have
been spent on. that's right, education
It is time to show some faith now in our scht>ol ad
ministrators. teachers, and I >I board members It is time
to trust that they have given us the best possible budget with
which to educate our children It is time to believe that they
understand the changes and problems within our com
munities. and will address those problems rationally and in
tclligently during the coming year's budget process
A clear voice from the electorate that yes. we are think
mg ahead; we are thinking ot the future ot our schools, and
community, is now m order
It is time to pass our school budget
