Dear all,
If you missed the forum on Tuesday night, you missed a really good meeting. The panel was very informed about the issues and had the expertise to answer all questions, and explain what work is being done right now to make sure that all answers are best for our schools.
Thanks to The Iola Register and their staff for carrying this process through, and trying to contact people from all phases of life. They have worked hard to get the best we can do for our kids. During the meeting, Tim Stauffer was at a computer answering questions posted on Facebook and sending them to links that had answers. At the same time, reporter Rick Danley relayed their questions to the panel. It was a well-done event. Thanks to all of you who have worked so hard on this bond issue.
Now, its everyones turn to step up and vote. This is for our young people, for our town, for our survival, so you need to vote. If you dont understand something, go see the school staff, or Superintendent of Schools Stacey Fager, or ask whomever can answer your question. Dont ask people who havent been studying the issues.
The county clerks office can tell you exactly how much it will affect your taxes. When I went to vote this morning, County Clerk Sherri Riebel said the more we do for our town, the easier it becomes for our taxpayers. This is for the betterment of our town. We need every one of you to save our town, our dreams, and most of all, our youth. Someone built our schools, and kept them up to date, so now its time to pay it forward.
Be an informed voter.
The special election is April 2 or you can vote now at the county clerks office. Ive voted, have you?
Donna Houser,
Iola, Kan.
