Letter to the Editor -- Another Reason to Vote Yes on Proposition PFK (Progress for Kids)

Here is another reason to vote yes on Proposition PFK.  The school can take advantage of the windmill funds for approximately 20 years. This provides a good opportunity to make upgrades and expansions to the school district using the proposed bond levy along with the windmill funds. The windmill funds may no longer be available after 20 years, so making the proposed updates now would be a wise choice.

Many buildings in Hopkins and Pickering have been lost due to age and neglect. We cannot afford to neglect our schools.  By voting yes on Proposition PFK, the school district will be able to update both buildings in Pickering and Hopkins. This will  make our schools and communities more appealing to new community members and students and would be helpful because open enrollment could be a real possibility in the near future.

I hope you agree with me and vote yes on Proposition PFK.
