Airway Heights not being served by bond

The Airway Heights area only has one school. Sunset Elementary was built in 1951, belongs to Cheney School District and is the oldest school in the district.

There is not a middle school or high school in this community. Not one school has been added to this area for 66 years!

For the third time CSD has placed a bond on the ballot to expand Cheney High School while ignoring requests to build a high school closer to the Airway Heights area. Generations of children have been negatively affected by this indifference. Re-write the bond to serve the north part of the district. Tax dollars are not being used to fairly serve children outside of Cheney. The Airway Heights area tax dollars deserve to be spread throughout the district, not kept in Cheney.

If this bond passes, a high school will not be even considered to be built outside of Cheney until well beyond 2028. Airway Heights growth rate is 41 percent and Cheney is 25 percent (www.usa.com).

Build a brighter future for the whole district not just Cheney. Tell CSD we want what is best for kids, vote NO. Does the Airway Heights area have to wait 100 years to get another school?
