Dear Editor
The purpose of this letter is to solicit support for the Cripple Creek-Victor School District Ballot Issue 4A to continue a 20-year existing property tax. In 2005, a bond issue for the renovation of the secondary school was implemented. In December, this bond will be paid off. This $480,000 revenue will cease unless you vote to continue it! The funds will be used for incentives to attract and retain teachers and staff and to fund ongoing maintenance and repairs of our facilities.
Over the years, it has been a privilege and honor to be connected to the school. I have learned: the theory of change is education; student’s success is competence and character; generational poverty is a “death nail”; and our momentum is being united in mind and purpose to serve our children and community.
Thank you for your continued support. Hope and joy are bestowed on all of you.
Mary Bielz
CC-V Committee for 4A
