To the editor:

My family, like many others, moved to the Island because of its strong public schools. Our public schools are truly the heart of the community. On Feb. 12, we will vote “yes” to support Bainbridge Island School District’s $15 million capital levy.

We believe in the goals of this project, which are:

1. Complete construction at Bainbridge High School which consists of the replacement of the 100 Building as well as move the commons to the core of the campus and transforming it into a much needed auditorium; and

2. Provide funding through 2025 for district-wide repairs and renovations, including more efficient systems and essential security upgrades.

We are proud to vote yes for something as vital as an excellent education for every student. Please join us in February by voting yes.

Yes to community, yes to schools, and yes to our Spartans!
