Voters across the state will go to the polls next Tuesday to vote on their school district budgets and elect school board members.

Voting day marks the culmination of a budget process that included months of public input and careful analysis.

School boards have listened to their communities and worked diligently to craft budgets that provide the best educational opportunities possible at the price taxpayers can afford.

We salute the work of school leaders, as well as all of the school board candidates willing to give their time and talents to their communities.

School budget votes and board elections represent the best of our grassroots democracy.
