Letter: Support Battle Ground schools

On Battle Ground Public Schools’ bond measure — Proposition 1 — vote “yes” for our children’s future.

We all know quality schools are the foundation of a vibrant community, increasing real estate values and creating a thriving economy. Vote “yes” on Proposition 1 to reduce the overcrowding in our schools. Simply, here are the facts:

1) Projected tax rate — 45 cents per $1000 of assessed value. That’s $135 per year for a house worth $300,000, or only $11.25 per month.

2) The district has a long-range facilities plan that ensures a positive future for our communities in Clark County.

Become informed. For facts about the bond measure, go to www.battlegroundps.org/bond.
