Thank you for supporting levy | Letters

Editor,

To the voters of Oak Harbor, we wish to extend a heartfelt thank you for your support of our school levy. By saying yes, you are allowing us to retain the current teaching staff supported by the previous levy and add additional classroom teachers and instructional assistants. We will be able to purchase classroom supplies, replace outdated textbooks, update computers, maintain athletics, music and tutoring, and increase maintenance and custodial staff. One of the most important benefits will be a major increase in support for special needs students and staff.

You, the voters, have given us a great opportunity to continue to provide the very best learning environment for all of the students of Oak Harbor. It is our promise to you that we will continue to use your money wisely for the greatest benefit of each and every student. Thank you for your incredible support.

Gary Wallin, President
Oak Harbor School Board
