student in our district. The bond will not only provide a better learning environ-ment; it will provide facilities and transportation that are safe andsecure.

As the Superintendent of Schools, I amexcited to improvethe SAFETY, SECURITYAN D ACADEMICS OFOUR STUDENTS INBEAVERTON! -Greg Paxton AI( ^

Why Now?

The district has fallen behindon capital improvements due to reduced funding bythe State of Michjgaaand the district cutting over 5 million dollars in expendituresover the past/TO year .̂ The district's aging bus fleet, roofs, and buildings are inneed to be reptacetTor repaired for the next generation of kids. The district hasno sinking fund to cover expenses to meet the needs of our maintenance costs.We are obligated to prepare our students for the 21st century. So let's keep ourdollars for the instruction of kids and let the bond maintain our capital improve-

ments.

Why not use the district's operating budget?

—Our Bond Proposalwill help maintain our general operating budget, so that it can

be used for instructional purposes within thedistrictrlfwe can free revenue from

the bond, which can be used for maintenance and facilities, it will allow the gen-

eral operating fund to focus on needs in the

classroom that directly affect kids in theirdaily instruction.
