XACC Board Endorses Xenia Schools Bond Issue

Passing the Xenia Community Schools Bond Issue makes economic sense. Approval of the Issue will provide funding for a new middle and high school to replace our current outdated buildings. These old buildings cannot be kept in repair without costing two thirds of the amount of constructing new buildings. It also makes sense to take advantage of the state's offer to provide more that $28 million in funding.

The Xenia Community Schools have made great progress in fiscal responsibility, added curriculum choices, increased enrollment and graduation rates, and transparency with the community.  In order for students to have the best advantage in finding good jobs post-graduation, having safe, efficient and right-sized facilities is crucial.

For these reasons, the Xenia Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors unanimously endorses the bond issue for the Xenia Community Schools and urges you to vote yes for it on May 2.
