We believe it’s <br />important that you know all the facts about the <br />operating levy referendum so that you will fully <br />understand your choices when you go to the polls. <br />This booklet provides answers to many common <br />questions and spells out. in detail, the financial <br />impact of the proposed local levy. <br />Does this booklet contain too much information? <br />Probably. But we heard from voters after the last <br />election that the school district did not provide <br />enough information about the vote. This time, we re <br />providing as much as possible. <br />Should you have a question, please don't hesitate <br />to write or call. The contact information is at the <br />bottom of every page. If you provide your contact <br />information, vve wilt get back to you promptly. <br />We can't emphasize enough how important this <br />election is to the future of the Westonka Public <br />Schools. By design, Minnesota's system for funding <br />education relies heavily on local support for local <br />schools. We believe this levy referendum is the right <br />step to preserve the hard-earned excellerKe of the <br />Westonka Schools. <br />Please read the information, attend the information <br />meetings, and ask any and all questions.
