I don’t have children, but I understand the importance of investing in the future – our children.

I just mailed my early ballot in support of the two issues placed on the Nov. 5 ballot by the Fountain Hills Unified School District Board of Education. I urge you to do the same.

It is so important for all of us to support our local schools. These measures will provide much-needed funding for instruction and resources as well as providing funding to maintain school facilities and upgrade aging infrastructure.

I am a business owner for over 20 years and I understand the importance of investing in capital improvements. It is critical to maintain the investment we have made in our current schools to create a safe environment for learning.

I enjoyed great schools and a terrific education when I was growing up. I believe that future generations should receive the same. I am doing my part. Please support our children by voting yes on the Fountain Hills School District operations and maintenance override and yes on the capital improvement bond.
