Kennewick levy: Yes
Kennewick levy: Yes
The Kennewick School District, by any criteria, is an outstanding school district. It is recognized for its high academic goals, excellent educators, and supportive parents and community. Unfortunately, the state does not provide adequate funding to schools. Therefore, just to maintain the high standards of the Kennewick schools it is necessary to ask the citizens to support and pass the upcoming replacement levy.
As an elementary principal, I work with exceptional staff that comes to school every day with a priority of providing all of our Southgate students with a high quality education. We are diligent aligning instruction with national and state standards, advancing technology, researching teaching strategies that best meet the needs of struggling, on level, and advanced learners, and more. We value our parent and community partners. We can't do it without you and encourage you to support Kennewick's students and teachers in the upcoming levy. Please continue to support a great public school district
