As both a parent and educator in my 25th year, I urge our community to vote “yes” on the upcoming school levies. These levies are vital for maintaining education quality and ensuring our students’ success.

Having attended the Columbia Falls school board meetings over the past few years, I’ve witnessed their cautious approach. They’ve delayed running any levies until absolutely necessary. This year’s levies are no exception—they’re asking for the minimum to continue current operations.

The Building Reserve Levy for the High School District is crucial. Without it, we’ll need alternative spaces for classrooms in 2024-2025, disrupting education. Options include costly modular classrooms and virtual instruction.  This is a two year only levy increase but will provide for our students for years to follow.  Please show us you value safety for our students and staff.
