Jackson district should take time to get it right

To the editor:

On April 4, the Jackson School District is not voting for or against better schools, educating our children or whether the current school board is good or bad.

We will be voting on one proposed option for expansion and one proposed levy increase of 40 cents. If one or both of these proposed issues is voted down, the next step is simple. Beginning April 5, the administration and board will work with all the patrons of the district. We will consider all options concerning expansion and taxes based on the fact that not only is our community growing, but small schoolchildren become big schoolchildren too.

Then in November, we will vote on proposals that were conceived by all of us. Neither the world nor Jackson will cease to exist if we need to wait seven months for better proposals.
