As the parent of children that are 4th generation to attend Salem, West Liberty, and now West Liberty-Salem schools, and as a third generation active farming landowner in the school district, I would like come forward in support of the renewal of the 1.5-mill permanent improvement levy. I feel that there is no better place that our hard earned money can be spent.

The permanent improvement levy dollars at WL-S help support maintenance and repair of school property, purchasing new school buses and purchasing equipment, technology, text books and things like desks and tools needed for teaching.
