Richland school levy: Yes
Richland school levy: Yes
Whether you are a parent, grandparent or friend of children, I encourage you to vote for your school levy. Nearly 20 percent of the programs in Richland Schools require local funding because our state Legislature has chosen not to fund basic education as directed by the state Constitution. The only mechanism we have today to fund these programs is to vote for the school levies.
Richland Schools has already cut five administrators. Sports programs have had cuts; recently, districts met to change playing schedules to reduce travel costs. Programs like drama, music, buses, travel, advanced placement classes, building maintenance, technology, staff training and development, art, physical education, security, etc., are not funded by the state, leaving coverage to local dollars. While the state still covers the so-called three R's, these other programs are important for a well-rounded education to prepare students for life after high school, whether it is going to work or on to college.
