There’s been a lot of
somewhat heated, yet healthy discussion/debate regarding the
upcoming local school support levies being voted upon by February
9th.
You can follow one of the ‘lively’ conversations HERE.
A rather interesting and timely article appeared in today’s Kitsap Sun:
“Judge Rules State not Fulfilling Duty to Fund Education”
KS Staff Blogger Marietta Nelson offers an ensuing commentary that poses the probing question: “What’s Missing?”
I can’t speak personally for the other districts within Kitsap County, but I can vouch for the Central Kitsap School District both as a resident and a parent of four CKSD students.
One of the benefits of living here in Central Kitsap is the sense of family and community that we all share. For those of us whose children have attended CK schools we have experienced firsthand the value and quality of education provided by the educators and staff of Central Kitsap School District.
I’ve never seen teachers and administrators who take such an active role in the lives of our kids. Superintendent Greg Lynch and the School Board Members (especially Chris Stokke) can be seen at nearly every school function or activity (even taking time out to personally read books in class to elementary students). Such occasions have afforded me countless opportunities of becoming better acquainted with our school leaders/administrators.
We are most fortunate here in Central Kitsap to have such highly qualified administrators/staff, and dedicated board members, all who possess high ethical standards and personal integrity.
A vote of “YES’ to renew the upcoming CK school support levy is not only a vote for our kids, but it’s also a vote of trust and confidence in our teachers and district leadership, to empower them all to continue their proven track record of educational excellence!
