Please remember to send in your ballots for the school and library levies. There are three measures measure to support technology, on-going work in classrooms and long term facilities and operations.

From neighbor Debbie Carlson:

Our schools went through gruelling cuts last year…it would be devastating to area public schools if these measures do not pass.

The deadline for sending in the ballots, which are being handled entirely by mail-in, is Februrary 9.

The consequences of the levy and bond measures not passing will be dire for the North Shore School district, especially when combined with expected cuts in education from the state. As we all know, strong schools help make for a strong property values.
