Letter: Vote ‘yes’ for Camas bond

I have been part of the Camas community for 13 years. I have seen our community grow and prosper, and at the same time look toward a vibrant future. As a member of the Camas City Council, and as a parent, I have seen first-hand how the partnership between the Camas School District and the city of Camas has benefited our community; our shared vision and commitment to working together has complemented the growth and expansion of both entities.

Once again it is time to make an investment in our community. I support the upcoming Camas School District bond initiative because it is a responsible, well thought-out plan that meets the challenges of anticipated growth now and into the future. As stewards of our tax dollars the Camas School Board has made tough decisions that demonstrate financial responsibility while ensuring resources directly benefit our students. The Camas School District has demonstrated they deliver on their promises; we have quality facilities in which we can all take pride.

The community’s priority must continue to be the investment in our young people. Their future and the type of future we shape for our community is at stake. It is a very worthwhile investment.

On Feb. 9, please join me in voting “yes” on the Camas School District bond.
