Voters have been clear in Battle Ground that they do not want to build new school buildings. Given the cost of construction, I understand. The problem of old buildings in need of repair remains, so what do we do?
Battle Ground Public Schools is asking the community to vote “Yes” on a capital levy. The money is to be used for building repairs and maintenance. Additionally, this levy will support upgrades to programs that will allow our students to stand out in a competitive job market.
Here’s the best part: This replaces a bond that expired in December; this is not an additional tax. Vote “Yes.”
