[Vision2020] Why I'm going to vote Yes on the Levy

[Donovan Arnold]

Mike,
   
  You are little nicer than me. I want to see MSD dedicate the money first, then I would support them. I don't understand why they cannot promise $1,500,000 of their $7,000,000+ cannot go to non college bound students. I don't think that is unfair to ask.
   
  They promise nothing with the taxpayers money except to spend it. 
   
  Best,
  
Donovan

We are not identical to Pullman, but I get very tired of hearing that we 
can't compare ourselves to them. Only a few miles apart, both are small 
towns next to a university. Pullman has made more opportunities available 
for their students in both voc-ed and dual enrollment. It may be difficult 
for us, but I feel that if we do not expand our offerings in both areas we 
will continue throwing away many students who don't fit into the average 
college bound mold.

I'm going to vote yes on the levy, but after that - if the school district 
can't convince me that they are working VERY HARD to improve dual 
enrollment opportunities with the U of I and add more vocational education 
opportunities - in the future I will be voting No.
