A new middle school is the best for the school district, community

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor,

     It is an exciting time for the Monticello School District and community. We have the opportunity to Vote YES for a new middle school on Sept. 11. The time is now.

     I went to country school in the ‘60s. The education was changing then as it is changing now. The generation before me had the foresight to build Shannon School and we now have the opportunity to “Pay it Forward.” A Vote YES for a new middle school today will give our students a safe, efficient, up to date learning facility.

     Many people have worked diligently to find the best solution for the aging middle school. After looking at remodeling and new ideas, the best solution is a new middle school built at the high school site. For details on the project, please see the school website or call the district office. All of your questions are important and can be answered.

     I have seen Monticello come together in many ways to support each other and worthy causes. The new middle school is one of the most important things we can build for the next generation.

     I plan to vote early on Aug. 15 or 16 in the high school commons. Please join me there or cast your vote on Sept. 11.

Sincerely,
Deb Keating

Monticello, Iowa
