Voting “yes” on the Battle Ground Public Schools levy is crucial for the safety of our children. The levy funds essential for security staff at middle schools, school resource officers and crossing guards — all things for which the state provides little to no funding. The levy also pays for assistant principals and deans who are critical to supporting a safe environment. Our students and our schools deserve protection. Investing in this measure is an investment in our future. Let’s stand together to prioritize safety and well-being. Please vote “yes” to keep our schools and neighborhoods secure.
