Dear Community,

We hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. We are writing to you as passionate advocates for the future of Raymond School District and the invaluable education it provides to our community.

As you may be aware, we are currently facing a crucial decision regarding the school bond replacement levy. We are thrilled to share that the proposed levy will cost the taxpayers less than the current levy, ensuring fiscal responsibility while maintaining our commitment to excellence in education. The funds generated through this levy are essential to supporting basic education and ensuring the continuation of the outstanding work happening at Raymond Elementary and Jr/ Sr High schools. Our dedicated educators and staff have consistently demonstrated a commitment to nurturing the academic, social and personal growth of our students.

What makes this opportunity even more compelling is the chance to qualify for some matching funds. By passing this levy, we not only invest in the present success of our students but also secure additional resources that will further enhance the learning environment at Raymond School District.

Your vote in favor of this levy is a vote for the future of our community, the success of our students, and the continued excellence of Raymond School District. Let us come together to ensure that our school remains the beacon of quality education and opportunity. We urge you to cast your vote with a resounding “YES” for the Raymond School District Replacement Levy. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of our students and the prosperity of our community.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
