Why is this bond proposal important?

Education has to be a top priority for our children to succeed. Despite these very difficult economic times, our children and grandchildren need the best education we can provide.

Classroom and instructional technology is essential to our children’s education and their future success.

Strong schools attract business investment, create jobs, and—quite simply—build better communities.
