The Bay Village chapter of the League of Women Voters has unanimously endorsed the 7.2-mill Bay Village school levy on the Nov. 8 ballot.
We have issued this endorsement because we believe a well-educated public is necessary for a strong democracy. We also believe that a high-quality public school system is necessary for a high-quality community.
It is not an accident that Bay Village currently has both; it took hard work over a long period of time. Bay voters have routinely passed school levies every four years or so for our entire history.
These levies are important, because our community does not have a strong industrial base, nor do we get much money from the state. The citizens of Bay have shown a commitment to this school system, which has been a careful steward of our tax money over many years, turning out well educated young people ready to productively move out into the world.
The Bay Village LWV encourages voters to continue investing in the future of both our children and our community by voting YES on Issue 3.
Extensive information about the school district’s financial needs and accomplishments is available for each voter’s inspection at bayk12.org.
