TOMORROW IS SCHOOL ELECTION DAY.  I HOPE YOU WILL TAKE THE TIME TO VOTE. 

I CAST MY ABSENTEE BALLOT IN HOLLAND TWO WEEKS AGO.  I FELT THE PROPOSALS WERE SOUND.  I HEAR MANY PEOPLE SAY, "I DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS IN SCHOOL, WHY SHOULD I VOTE FOR MORE TAXES." I DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS,OR EVEN GRANDKIDS IN SCHOOL, BUT I HAVE GREAT GRANDKIDS IN SCHOOL AND THEY NEED EDUCATING LIKE I DID MANY YEARS AGO.  OTHERS PICK OUT A SMALL PORTION OF THE PROPOSALS THAT THEY DISAGREE WITH, AND USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO VOTE DOWN THE ENTIRE PLAN.

THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND THE SUPERINTENDENT SPENT MANY HOURS DEVELOPING THE PROPOSALS TO REPAIR AND ENHANCE THE SCHOOL PLANT.  NOW ITS YOUR TURN. WILL YOU VOTE TODAY?
