Community comes together for schools

Last week I had the opportunity to do phoning as a volunteer for the Committee for Support of Good Schools. I called to encourage people to vote and to vote yes twice on the Cheney School District bond and levy measures. I was pleased and encouraged by the positive responses I received during the phoning.

People were very supportive of the measures and of Cheney schools, with several telling me stories of their children and grandchildren having positive educational experiences in Cheney. I can add my own stories to theirs, having raised three children who all had their public education in Cheney and having worked for the Cheney School District for 18 years myself.

Cheney has both a record of and a reputation for excellence in education and fiscal responsibility. Please join me and vote yes twice on your ballot to continue and ensure quality education and facilities for our children and their children.
