On behalf of all principals and assistant principals in the Auburn School District, I want to thank the cities of Auburn, Algona and Pacific for their strong support of our schools. I believe it’s that support of schools that makes this area such a great place to live in and raise a family.

The Auburn School District is asking voters to consider a capital improvements levy in the upcoming Nov. 3 election. If approved, this capital levy would repair critical items in 19 of our schools and six support facilities including: failing roofs, broken heating and ventilation systems, degraded utility lines, outdated surveillance and intrusion detection systems and other structural, health, safety and seismic needs.

I hope voters will join me in voting for this capital improvements levy by completing their ballots and dropping them in the mail by Nov. 3.
