Letter to the Editor
O u r duty to provide decent education
To the Editor:
This letter is written is sup
port of the upcoming Morrow
County School District bond
levy.
This March may be our last
time to fund our schools the
way we are used to. I think the
school board has done a good
job in cutting costs and scaling
back, but enough is enough.
We as parents need to provide
a decent education for our
children. It is our duty and
their right.
My dad recently retired after
29 years in Morrow County
School System and I am proud
of his accomplishments and
dedication to our children. If
we want to keep that kind of
dedication, we need to keep
our school system and the
quality we have now.
Morrow County is a good
place to live and raise children.
Let's keep it that way. Please
join me in voting yes in March.
