Our children are our future!
The children of Orcas Island deserve to learn in a safe environment. I have two grandchildren that live here on Orcas, Christian and Megan, and they have many years of learning ahead of them in our schools. This construction school bond on our ballot will rehabilitate classrooms of the 1980’s. It not only will be used for classrooms but also upgrade the library and the cafeteria and music rooms.
Our school needs and deserves this long overdue help. The School Board has done its homework and by using the expert advice of local contractors and architects, have found a way to keep costs as low as possible. This new bond will replace the capitol levy expiring this year. Our property taxes will stay the same but extend for 20 years.
Please vote YES for the school bond and remember that the children of Orcas Island ARE our future and they deserve that safe environment.
