Thanks to Constance Morris for an eloquent presentation of many reasons to show up on Tuesday (or earlier) to vote YES for the Walden School Budget. I and many of my neighbors will be voting YES in support of all the children in our community.

Can we (please) at last accept that our School Board has drastically cut the original budget in response to earlier voting AND...

Can we (please) put aside some of the negative energy that has been so unproductive for many months now and only serves to increase the expenses for which our taxes must pay.

Please vote to move forward with funds for THIS school year and redirect this energy toward a school budget for NEXT year that reflects a greater community input.
