Monday's vote an extension of approved referendum

TO THE EDITOR:

When the Vote Yes for Education Committee promoted the high school referendum, it communicated to citizens that Cemetery Road was the school board's preferred location for the new school.

Our members also made it clear that negotiations with the university regarding the land trade could not take place until after the referendum passed. We were given assurance by the school board that there would be an open meeting to allow voters to give final approval of the Cemetery Road location.

That open meeting is set for May 3. We support the process that has taken place regarding the referendum and the land trade. Cemetery Road remains the preferred location for the new high school.

We thank everyone who voted for the new high school and ask that you once again vote yes on the Cemetery Road location.
