MMSD Referendum: Time is Now!

Printed in the Capital Times 10/25/06

Almost two years ago our community was called to vote for change. Change can be defined as passing from one phase to another. Now is the time to not only recognize the different faces on the board of education, it is time for our community to support those we have endorsed and placed in public office. After countless hours of community service, task force recommendations and public forums, the board has unanimously agreed on the need for space. As well, our Madison district is recommending a refinancing of loans at a lower interest rate; sound fiscal reasoning.

There are so many issues facing our Wisconsin schools today. Of highest priority is the impending discussion on the how to and need for proper funding. On November 7th, let's work together to cross off the outstanding item of overcrowding in the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) and move forward to provide challenges and opportunities for our next generation. Vote YES for MMSD schools!
