Support Dist. 203 facilities overhaul

On Feb. 5 voters in the city of Naperville will make a choice that could have a significant positive impact for future generations in our learning community. We believe that it is important for people to have all of the facts and data relative to the District 203 facilities referendum so they can make an informed decision when they go to the polls. Throughout the month of January there are tours and open houses of the facilities impacted by the referendum. Please visit our Web site www.buildthefuture203.org for a schedule of tours and open houses and please try to attend one of these very informative sessions.

We believe that when you tour a facility and gather the facts and data, it will be clear that this referendum successfully addresses three key issues that all of us as taxpayers are concerned about. The referendum:

• Supports a fiscally responsible facilities option for our schools.

• Upgrades the facilities to protect the investments we've made in our homes.

• Keeps our students education strong with long-term building solutions.

The members of Build the Future 203 have a passion for this issue. We believe in the importance of having safe, up-to-date facilities to prepare our children to compete in a global economy and be contributing citizens in our world community. And we believe in investing in the infrastructure of our educational system to protect our real estate values.

We strongly urge all District 203 voters to vote "yes" for this much-needed facilities bond referendum.
