On Tuesday, November 6, we have another chance to make sure Middletown students can continue to get the Middie experience – transportation to and from school, academics, enough classroom hours, athletics, music and drama, honors classes, foreign languages, and much more.
The bad news is, after levy losses in May and August the district still needs the same amount of funding, just to get back the programs and services that were lost.
The good news is that our teachers and students have are raising the level of overall achievement Lower achieving students continue to improve. Programs in Middletown are helping our kids
In order to restore transportation to and from school, academics, enough classroom hours, athletics, music and drama, honors classes, foreign languages, and much more, both Issues 13 & 14 MUST pass. The combined cost is less than $5.70 a month more per $100,000 of home value. If your home is worth $50,000 it will cost just $2.85 per month. It is 100% tax deductible on itemized federal taxes.
Issue 13 adds $1.5 million to keep our school up with inflation. Issue 14 renews a $4 million issue passed in 1995.
ANNOUNCEMENT
The next PRIDE (Parents Respond in Defense of Education) meeting is this Monday, October 29, 7-8 pm in Room 107 Thesken Hall on the Campus of Miami University Middletown. We will be finalizing plans for our Thursday Nov 1 “Light the Night and Line the streets” and our Sunday, November 4 Prayer Vigil. All concerned parents, students, and teachers are welcomed.
