Morrow County has historically been proud of its good schools Un til a few years ago citizens always supported the schools by passing each las levy Al the present time we .ire in the ' safety net" due to failure of tas levies and our teachers arc working without a contract because ol stalled contract negotiations rhesc two problems reflect a decline in interest and support for our schools ITicrc is no more certain way to destroy our communities and our future than by neglecting our schools It is time we all became more in volved Our children arc the future and the schools arc the heart of rural communities Only interested citizen support can bring hack a positive "can do" attitude to management of Morrow County Schools Please See what you can do to help.
