Letter to the Editor: It’s the right time to make the investment

I am so excited that our school district has the opportunity to make an investment in our schools!

After a few years of hearing about extra difficult times for students and staff, we can gift them a promise of comfort and safety. In November, we get to vote to make a sound investment in our future. This bond will help sustain our district’s infrastructure across all buildings. 

Obviously, these campuses benefit our children and their families, but they also serve our entire community. The school gymnasiums are used by YMCA teams and adult basketball and volleyball groups. Likewise, the ball fields are used by Little League, soccer and Peewee Football. The auditorium in the high school is host to many local performances, including two local dance companies and The Missoula Children’s Theater.

Our schools are community hubs! With costs growing year after year, now is the most efficient and practical time to pass this bond and put these plans in action!
