I support of the bond and EP&O levy for the Sequim School District.
I no longer have children of school age, but investing in education is vital for our city. I was a teacher for 30 years, and school funding is essential for the continued growth and support of our community.
What I’ve been hearing is: “I don’t want another increase in property taxes for our schools because I don’t have school-age children and those aren’t issues that I’m interested in.”
Unfortunately, this is myopic thinking. Sequim schools need the extra bond money to update infrastructure and continue investing in the students’ futures.
You have the power to touch the future. Vote yes on the Feb. 11 construction bond and EP&O levy.
