Good Morning!!! It's 4:58am... and I've been awake for nearly a half hour already. Why on earth would I wake up at this god-forsaken hour? Well... because yesterday was election day back home, and this political die-hard needed to know how a ballot measure did!
As many of you know, the Peninsula School District is really important to me. As a PSD grad, and with a sister still in the PSD system, and my mom serving on the School Board, it's a huge part of my family. Everyone in my family has worked on levy campaigns for nearly as long as I can remember. Back when I was in middle school I remember sign waving on election day out in the freezing cold with other students, and seeing the horrible effects when the levy failed that year. We had no paper, custodians and some teachers lost their jobs... it was awful.
Thankfully, levies haven't failed in awhile- meaning our kids are getting a better education as a result. And tonight was no different- voters passed the levy by 65%! That's amazing. Of course, I expect no less from my town!!!This amazing support will help the district "reduce class size, increase safety and security, hire and develop professional staff, supplement the costs of after school programs, purchase essential technology and instructional materials, maintain and clean buildings, and acquire clean, safe, and fuel efficient buses."
Thanks to PSD Voters and the Levy Campaign Team!!!
