To the editor,
The most important thing a community can do is provide an excellent education for their children. I believe education is the greatest foundation of our past, present and future. I am glad to live in Winlock because it has a good history of good public education.
We must continue to make quality educational opportunities available for our youth. I urge you to vote YES and return your mail-in ballot for the Winlock M & O Levy (maintenance and operations) by Feb. 11. This is not a new levy, but the renewal of an existing one, which will expire without your approval. Please continue your support.
The January edition of Cardinal Pride, the Winlock School District’s newsletter, gives you the facts about the levy and the LEA (levy equalization assistance), which is state support for the district after the levy is approved. Please read the newsletter for further information. The Winlock M & O Levy will continue to provide four more years of stable funding of quality educational programs for Winlock’s youth.
