Make your decision based upon need, facts
Cindy Scott 

Dear Editor,

On August 6, residents of the Greenville City School District will have the opportunity to vote on a bond issue to build a new K-8 facility and make renovations to the high school.  These upgrades will improve the learning environment for our students by providing facilities capable of handling the technology needed in today's world in a safe, efficient and comfortable manner.

Each time an issue is placed on the ballot, one argument we hear is "the administration and board can't be trusted".  As in the life of any individual or organization, mistakes and poor decisions are sometimes made, we are not perfect, we learn from our mistakes and move on.

I ask you to make your decision on the bond issue based on the need, facts and information directly related to the issue and not cloud the issue with past grievances.  The voters of this district have an opportunity to set an example for our students; that in life, we learn from our mistakes, let go of the past and move forward to a better future.

You can find information on the facility plan at www.greenvillestrong.com. Please vote FOR the bond issue on August 6.
