Cast Your Vote! May 20th

Snohomish Citizens - it's time to cast your vote. Snohomish Schools/teachers/students need our help. Overcrowding, worn out buildings (Riverview is 42 years old, Machias is 38 years old), and much-needed renovation is at stake. For more information, be sure to check out the Snohomish School District website.

The ballot reads as such:

School Renovation and Construction Bonds.
"This proposition would authorize the District to complete Snohomish High School renovation, renovate and expand Valley View Middle School, expand Centennial Middle School, construct new elementary schools to replace Machias and Riverview, construct aquatic center, make District-wide capital improvements and acquire classroom technology to improve student learning; issue no more than $261,587,000 of general obligation bonds maturing within 20 years; and levy annual excess property taxes to repay the bonds, all as provided in Resolution No. 05-08.

Snohomish has a strong tradition of excellence, loyalty, and support. For those of you who are residents, I urge you to go out and vote tomorrow.

Thanks (okay, I'll step of my soapbox for now . . . .).
