Ozment: More Support For The School Bond
By CAT OZMENT
Los Alamos
In a town where things can get politically contentious, I’ve been delighted to see letters to the editor showing a broad consensus that we as a community support the school bond up for consideration in the ongoing election. People whose values often diverge on other issues agree that a vote for this bond is a vote for our kids, a vote for educators, and a vote for our community. I’m proud to add my voice to the chorus: vote YES for the school bond.
In short: this bond will not change our current tax rate, and it will provide matching funds for urgently needed capital improvements. Read More

Bjarke-McKenzie: Please Vote Yes For The School Bond!
By JUDY BJARKE-MCKENZIE
President
Los Alamos Public Schools Foundation
Having grown up in Los Alamos, so much has changed. Things in the community have changed so much and my memories keep the old Los Alamos tucked away for me to enjoy. One thing that did not change with the times was our schools. We have started to do some of that with the schools on the hill and now it is time for our White Rock schools.
All of our schools have aged and are aging so much, to the point of not being the place that we want for our children to learn and grow. After we get this done it will be up to us to maintain them and make sure they Read More
