Editor:

I would like to encourage voters to join me in support of the Eaton Community Schools renewal level (Issue 9). It is important to note that a renewal levy means no new taxes. Supporting kids is a major priority for myself. It is one of the foundational skills that leads to strong families and a strong community. All kids benefit from strong schools; special needs, career and technical (vocational), and college bound.

The path can be different for every child, but every child deserves the best support and education to lead their best life. Our schools are facing more and more pressure to provide a multitude of services to meet these needs. And as we all know, that takes money. Eaton Community Schools, along with the 2,000 students and families they currently serve, deserve the community’s support in addressing these needs. Thank you for your support. Vote “yes” on Issue 9.
