Letter | Time to invest in schools and students

Published 4:07 pm Tuesday, January 27, 2015

As current and former members of the Snoqualmie Valley School District Board of Directors, we are united in our endorsement of the bond measure being placed before voters on the February ballot.

Collectively, our service on the board spans nearly 30 years, with some of us serving as far back as the 1980s.

During the past 30 years, we have seen our district grow, change, and develop into one of the best in the state of Washington. In fact, the Snoqualmie Valley schools have been nationally recognized for providing quality education. This bond measure is critical to ensuring that we maintain our strong schools and make them even better.

For many years now, our district has also enjoyed tremendous levels of support from the community. This bond proposition is another opportunity for the community to demonstrate its support of the schools and the students in them.

It has been over 10 years since a school bond measure of significant proportion has been approved here in the Valley. Consequently, our facilities needs are now at a critical level and our schools need your support to address those needs.

Please take time to learn about the bond proposition by visiting the SVSD website, www.svsd410.org.

It’s time to once again invest in our schools, our kids, and our community.

Please join us in voting Yes for this important measure.

Geoff Doy, School Board President;

Tavish MacLean, Dan Popp and Carolyn Simpson, board members;

Rudy Edwards, Scott Hodgins, Kim Horn, Craig Husa, Becky Jorgensen, Dave Reed, and Kristy (Sullivan) Trione, former board members
