As a new homeowner here in Renton and as someone who voted for improving our schools both in March and in May because I know how important having great schools are for one’s city or town, I just wanted to write and say how excited I am about the outcome, how pleased I am to think about what those funds will do for our kids, teachers, schools, and for Renton, and how proud I am of all the people who got their votes in this time.

I’ve lived in many parts of our country that have great school districts and I raised four kids through these excellent school districts and as a result of their fine educations they have all graduated from college, too.

Thanks to all the voters of Renton for securing our future as a great place to raise a family.
