Vote YES for this issue

Bill Osterbur

Dear Editor,

I am writing in favor of the Greenville School Bond Levy issue on August 6 and to encourage all Greenville residents to vote YES for this issue.

I believe in public education. It takes at least two main components to make it work...the facilities and certainly not the least of these two, the people who teach and administer that education. This bond issue addresses providing new and updated facilities to the Greenville School System to replace structures that were already far along in their process of being outdated and wearing out over 20 years ago when our children began their education in Greenville Schools. Trying to extend the lives of the current buildings as they are is wasting the best opportunity in terms of cost that we have to give this city a school system that kids, parents, teachers and the community can be proud of. This system will help provide a better education than what is available now and the tools to strengthen this community where it is sorely needed.

Please join me in voting YES on August 6!
