CDA STUDENT: Vote yes for the levy to protect education

My Name is Andi Jane Howard. I’m a junior and Coeur d’Alene High School’s ASB Treasurer. I’ve had opportunities all throughout high school to take honors, AP and dual credit classes. These teachers have advanced education, experience and degrees. They’ve supported me, tutored me and prepared me for higher levels of education. I know and trust that I will be protected in our SROs and Admins’ care.

I know our janitors and on many occasions offer my help when they are cleaning up after events. I’ve spent time in the college and career center getting walked through the dual enrollment process. I have spent countless hours finding ways to better our school. I’ve been in many meetings with parents who are willing to donate money and time to better our school.

Not every student has the opportunity or the willingness to be as involved as I am. Not every parent is able to donate their time and money. If you voted no on the levy and are going to do so again, what are you doing to compensate? Are you willing to donate to VPN so they can continue to pay for teachers’ grants? Will you choose an underfunded program to support? What will you do when our school can no longer operate? How will you support the teachers who will lose their jobs or leave for better pay? Vote yes. If you’re unsure of why or how to vote yes, please visit the district page. Protect education.
