Adam Heathcote, Sartell
There is an important vote coming on May 24 for the future of our towns, our schools and our kids. As a proud graduate from the class of 2000, as a husband to a second-grade teacher, as a parent to two students within the district, as a board member of the Sartell-St. Stephen Education Foundation and as a lifelong resident of Sartell, I urge you to vote yes.
The District has done a great job of articulating the reasons the vote is being proposed to our community. We need to continue to improve the safety and security of our buildings. We need flexible learning spaces for our current and future learners and we need more space, as the current buildings are at or over capacity due to steady growth within our own boundaries. This growth has happened because of our outstanding schools. Families want their children to get a quality education and choose to move to this community so their children have that opportunity. We can continue this excellence by supporting this referendum and further enhancing this great school system for our greatest assets, our kids and our future.
