Dear editor,
I would like to encourage area residents to participate in Monday nights discussion regarding a potential bond issue for USD 257 schools. The forum is at 6 p.m. at Lincoln Elementary.
The purpose is for steering committee members to engage local patrons to get a feel for their plan so far.
About two dozen of your fellow citizens have been meeting for close to 12 months to discuss data and efficiencies and develop a vision for education in our district. This committee is made up of citizens who voted both yes and no on the 2014 bond issue that so divided our community. Some on the committee originally were not sure anything was needed to be done to our school buildings, but now there is a super majority that feels they are close to making a recommendation to the board of trustees.
