Let's stick with what works in District 15

Posted March 30, 2017 5:00 am

On April 4 you have the opportunity and the responsibility to vote in the local elections. School District 15 has three excellent candidates who are running as incumbents, having exceptional leadership and professional skills to develop and implement strategic plans and policies to move District 15 into the future.

I will be voting for Jim Ekeberg, Peggy Babcock and Jerry Chapman and urge you to do the same. These three candidates have advocated for and adopted balanced budgets, while addressing the critical needs of aging physical structures and updating curricula development.

District 15 has a history of excellence. Excellent schools build great communities. We need leaders who will not only maintain but enhance the educational opportunities for our students.

Please vote for Jim Ekeberg, Peggy Babcock and Jerry Chapman; they speak for the taxpayers and the students.
