On Nov. 4, the current generation of Oregon will have an opportunity to leave a legacy and shape the future.
The referendum on the ballot is several years in the making, is the result of intense collaboration and input from a wide variety of stakeholders and offers an incredibly high return on investment for taxpayers.
A successful referendum will result in a district that can compete and win against other local school districts for current and future enrollment as well as enhance property values of school district homeowners.
Now is the time to vote “Yes”. Our school district is aligned on a Yes vote, as the Board, Administration and Education Association all want this referendum to pass. The business community is a Yes vote, evidenced by endorsements from the Oregon Chamber of Commerce and the Oregon Rotary Club.
Parents, empty nesters and retirees support this effort, shown by a 2012 survey that found 77 percent of Oregon residents support a comprehensive referendum.
Oregon is united behind this investment. Let’s send a message to Dane County and Wisconsin about our community. Let’s do this, Oregon. Vote yes on Nov. 4.
