Support the
MVCTC Levy
Jim Buchy
The Miami Valley Career Technology Center services 27 local school
districts across a nine county area. For almost 50 years
thousands of students have been educated there and are successful,
productive workers in the Miami Valley and beyond.
There is a great need for physical updates and infrastructure need for
the buildings. On November 7, the voters of the Miami Valley
Career Technology Center will be making a decision to support a modest
Bond/Levy Issue of 1.43 mills to provide the money to make the physical
improvements. What is special about the bond/levy is that the
State of Ohio is providing 47% of the funding for the total
project. In addition, ten years after implementation the millage
will drop by almost 24% to 1.09 mills.
Many of the participating schools have Vocational Agriculture and
FFA. Since agriculture is the number one industry in Ohio and one
out of 7 jobs are agricultural related, many students are receiving
valuable agriculture education from the Miami Valley Career Technology
Center. It is imperative that agriculture education continues to
grow so that our area will have qualified people producing quality and
abundant food and work in agricultural related businesses and jobs.
For these reasons, please continue to support the Miami Valley Career
Technology Center by voting for the Bond/Levy on the November 7th
ballot.
Thank you for your favorable consideration of this important matter.
