Thanks to the many supporters of the Ashland Schools Bond. Without your
financial help and your many hours of time, we wouldn't have been able to
put before the community such a well thought out and planned facilities bond
or run a campaign for our schools, let alone a great one. Thank your for
all your hard work. You are the most important ingredient in making Ashland
such a wonderful community.
Thank you to the Ashland Community for your vote of confidence in supporting
the Ashland Schools Bond. The bond will provide real improvements to the
conditions of our school buildings, better learning environments for our
children, and allow us to keep our general fund dollars in the classrooms
where they belong.
With the passage of the bond, the real work is about to begin. The Ashland
School District has carefully crafted a plan to manage the bond efficiently
and wisely and indeed is already working hard to begin implementing this
plan. For updates on the progress of the facilities improvements and
repairs, please refer to the Ashland School District website.
With gratitude,
The Committee for Ashland Schools Bond
