CPark: Levy's vital, and it won't increase taxes

I am a mother with three children in the Clover Park School District. I also am a substitute teacher in the district.

I am writing in support of the Clover Park replacement levy. I want quality education for my children and future students including up-to-date technology and the best educational staff to support learning.

My children attend Park Lodge Elementary, which offers many positive opportunities for our family to be involved in learning. My children benefit from use and instruction in technology, fine arts and music, physical education and various after-school activities.

I am confident that the voters will vote to renew this levy, because this is not a new tax but is essential for the quality of schooling our community currently relies on.

Clover Park students and teachers deserve our support. Voting yes is the right thing to do.
