Unfortunately, our state legislature has underfunded education for years. As a consequence, local school districts have had to make up the difference in order to continue adequate funding for a variety of essential programs. That’s really what our maintenance and operations levy here in Boundary County is all about.

By voting yes for the levy essential programs such as robotics, band and choir, and computer programming will continue to be funded at the levels they deserve.

On March 14, vote yes for our children’s education. Vote yes for their future and ours.
