MEASURE NO. 24-148

Cascade School District 5

Argument in Favor:

Dear Cascade Resident,

The Cascade School District does a wonderful job of educating the children. The district has been creative and made the tough decisions. That has resulted in shifting children from one school to another, eliminating programs, and making use of all available space.

Due to a Marion County mandated building moratorium, Turner did not allow any new construction for a number of years. Turner Grade School was able to provide classrooms to accommodate Aumsville 5th graders. The addition of the sewer system ended the building moratorium and has resulted in a building boom in Turner. Our little town is growing rapidly. Growth throughout the district has pushed our school system to the limit.

Turner needs the rooms currently used by Aumsville 5th graders. We need another grade school in Aumsville. We need to expand Turner Grade school. We need additional classrooms at Cascade. We need all of these things NOW.

The most valuable resource in any community is our children. We haven’t passed a new building bond in our district since 1965. Everything that can be done, has been done. It is way past time. Please join us in supporting our community and our children. The Turner PTO strongly urges a “Yes” vote for Cascade Kids.
