Consider the following:

• 100% of the district’s classrooms are being used at full capacity.

• Class size is increasing to unacceptable levels.

• New home construction is exploding. 50-60 homes are currently under construction. Another 250 homes have been approved to be built. Historically, we add about 1 child per household. Schools are at capacity. Where do we educate the added children?

• Over the years overcrowding in elementary schools was delayed by sending all 6th graders to Cascade. Today, Cascade Jr. and Sr. High are at capacity.

• 75% of Aumsville 5th graders are shipped to Turner because Aumsville outgrew their grade school in 1995.

• Turner is growing at a rapid pace. They need their rooms back.

• Students in the district spend most of their time at Cascade (7 years).

• The last building bond was passed in our district nearly 40 years ago.

The Bond would:

• Add an elementary school in the Aumsville area.

• Add classrooms in Turner

• Add at least 10 classrooms, auditorium, PE/gym facilities Cascade.

We believe:

• We have a great (but overcrowded) school district.

• Children are our most important asset.

• Good schools make good communities.

• It is time to secure the future of our children and our community.

The Marion Parent/Teacher club urges everyone to Vote YES for Cascade Kids.
