ML school levy dollars cover many needs

It is that time again, where we as citizens get a chance to vote on an upcoming levy to support the Medical Lake School District. This levy was last approved in 2018, so it is not a new one that will increase our costs, but a vote to sustain the existing funding levels.

This levy is essential for our schools to continue to provide excellence in education in our community. It funds many key educational activities from technology to extracurricular. My family has three students in the district: eighth-grade, fourth-grade and first-grade. The activities the program funds have positively impacted my family in many ways.

A relevant example is the Chromebooks that allow all students access to essential learning technology. The funding also supports extracurricular activities that allow our students to have access to programs that are essential for their long term well-being. These include athletics, ROTC, FFA, band and choir, school nurses, school psychologists and many others. The program also supports STEM activities such as robotic clubs, which as an engineer, are very important to me.

Please vote yes on the levy so our students have access to these important programs for another three years. Thank you.
