Letter | Bond improves safety, schools

Published 4:18 pm Tuesday, January 27, 2015

Local firefighters work hard to keep the Snoqualmie Valley community safe. This is why we feel that the safety and education resources for Snoqualmie Valley students are a high priority. We encourage voters to support Proposition 1 with a Yes vote on Feb. 10.

This bond will provide funds to make safety and security improvements at Mount Si High School, as well at all other school district facilities. Modernizing and expanding Mount Si High School will benefit students in the community by flood-proofing the building, making seismic and other safety upgrades, improving the building’s security design, and enhancing learning spaces to better prepare students for the future. The new and expanded school facilities will also ease overcrowding and lessen the amount of time many students spend on school buses in the future.

Local firefighters support the school bond and encourage you to vote “Yes” for Proposition 1. Please learn more at yesforsvsdschools.com.
