To the Editor:
Passing Proposition 1 does not affect the funding for our highly regarded Shoreline schools. School funding is completely separate.
If anything, supporting Proposition 1 will indirectly have a positive affect on Shoreline schools in at least two ways:
1. Enhancements to our public parks, included in Proposition 1, will encourage healthy play for all students.
2. The pool complex will allow and encourage more Shorecrest and Shorewood students to turn out for the no-cut sport of swimming and diving. High school graduation statistics indicate that students who participate in extracurricular activities such as music, drama and sports have a higher graduation rate.
Please support our community and our schools by voting YES to Proposition 1.
