— from Anne Ford McGrath, OEA President —

I am writing in support of the Orcas Island School district’s Maintenance and Operations levy.

This levy provides the necessary funds to fully provide our students education. It allows for the operation of our schools and without it we are unable to provide the level of education our students deserve. 90% of our Music and Athletic programs are funded by this levy as well as 75% for our classified staff.

Please join me in passing this important M & O Levy.
