By MATTHEW WILLIAMS
Former School Board Member
District 2, 2012-2016

I started my service on the Los Alamos School Board in January of 2012. At that time, I did not know that the District Office had already decided on a plan for the future of Chamisa Elementary School.

By ELLEN SPECTER
Vice President
LAPS School Board

I want to thank Los Alamos County voters for their ongoing support of our schools. I am asking you to continue your support by voting YES on the School District Mill Levy. Your YES vote will re-authorize an essential funding stream for our schools.

Because over 90% of school funding comes from the state, this mill levy is one of the few ways for the community to supplement revenue to maintain our excellent schools.
