Remaining competitive in both business and education is critical to the long-term success of any community. Longmont is no exception. Because quality education is a cornerstone to economic prosperity, the Board of Directors of Longmont Investing for Tomorrow (LIFT) recently voted to endorse ballot issues 3A and 3B, the mill levy override and the school bond issue.

As a coalition of pro-business individuals, we understand that when a school system is thriving, the community thrives. Employers consider the state of the local school district when making decisions about where to locate their business. They consider the workforce they will have available to them. They determine the likelihood that their employees will want to move their families into those school districts. Additionally, parents wish to have their students receive the kind of education that will allow them to compete with students throughout the world as they recognize that we are now living in a global economy. Our students deserve to enter the workforce with the best tools available to them.

We, too, choose excellence. Longmont and the rest of the St. Vrain Valley School District deserve no less. Please join with us in supporting 3A and 3B.
