I am writing to support the request from Oxford School Board member Mr. Dan D’Alessandro’s request that Oxford school district residents vote ‘YES’ for the renewal of the non-homestead millage proposal which will be on the Nov. 8 ballot.

The current school board and administration has done an excellent job in keeping most of the dollars in the classroom to properly teach the children of Oxford.

However, the reality is that the State of Michigan does not properly fund our schools as they have in the past.

It is all about money, and the local communities need to do more to support their school system.

The government in Lansing is doing less and not more for the students of our local schools.

Please vote ‘YES’ on Nov. 8!
