The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

To the Editor,

The Dayton School District needs your support with the upcoming replacement levies. The State of Washington is committed to providing the costs of basic education. The local levies help to support the parts of public education that are not fully funded by the state allocation.

Here are just a few of the many ways the levy funds are used:

Smaller class sizes

Counselors and Nurses

Transportation for field trips and club activities

Athletics

Classroom supplies

CTE Classes- Home Ec, Wood Shop, Ag Shop, Business Education

Instructional staff support

Maintenance and Operations

Technology in the classroom

Improved safety and security

The Dayton School District relies on the local voters to help insure that students are getting a quality education with experiences that are not part of basic education. Please vote yes!
