The Ridgefield School District has kept its promises, delivering extraordinary value to our community. An example is the partnership with the city on sports fields, which saved taxpayers approximately $6 million. But Ridgefield is growing and our schools are already overcrowded. Proposition 5 will provide comprehensive, hands-on training for students. It invests in Ridgefield, will help attract the best and brightest teachers, and reduce overcrowding by building a new K-4 elementary school and 6-7 middle school. Even with passage of the bond, our district will still have one of the lowest tax rates in the region. Vote yes for Proposition 5.
