An. Open Plea To Citizens
In The Walled Lake School District:

AVE

11-11C,C)111-.

On September 28

SPECIAL ELECTION

VOTE YES! Saturday, September 28

It's time to face the HARD FACTS—Walled Lake Schools is one of the fastest growing school districts in the
state and our schools are already over capacity. An average of 500 students have enrolled annually in our district
for the past six years—enough to fill several elementary schools! And more children are on the way!

Quite Simply: We Need More Space

A failed bond issue means:








Increased class sizes - could be as high as 40 to 50 students per class
Double shift classes - morning sessions start at 5:30 a.m., afternoon session leaves at 8:00 p.m.
Dark bus stops - begins at 4:30 a.m. and ends at 9:00 p.m., with no transportation for juniors and seniors
Eliminate athletics - for middle school and freshmen
Canceled classes - Art, business, technical and performing arts
Lower property values - with the worsening condition of the schools

A YES VOTE on September 28 means:









Reasonable class sizes
Regular school hours
Athletic programs for middle schools and freshmen
Elective classes for a well-roimded education
Increase in home values
Athletic facilities for the entire community
Students receive a better education

(The cost will be about 35 cents a day on property worth $100,000)

YOUR VOTE COUNTS and the
KIDS ARE COUNTING ON YOU
