to our operations.
1 . Protecting Our Firefighter/Paramedics: Measure
9-166 ensures the district can provide safe facilities and
reliable apparatus for the employees and citizens we
serve. A healthy workforce is necessary for an organi-
zation of our size. Even a single employee out due to
an on-the-job injury significantly impacts our operation-
al capacity. By ensuring that we have a well-equipped
and healthy workforce, it empowers our team to deliver
the highest level of service possible.
2. Recruitment and retention: Recruitment and retention
pose significant challenges not only for our district but
for fire service agencies across the region. Investing in
the district's infrastructure and resources demonstrates
a commitment to the well-being of our Firefighters/
Paramedics. This commitment is essential for attracting
recruits and retaining our experienced employees. A
well -funded fire district with modern facilities and equip-
ment is more attractive to prospective employees, this
leads to a more resilient and competent workforce.
3. Enhancing emergency response: A 1 0-year Capital
Levy allows the district to invest in infrastructure and
state-of-the-art equipment. This includes acquiring
more capable technology for medical response, as
well as state-of-the-art firefighting equipment. Given
the limited staffing of our district, we rely heavily on our
technology to streamline operations, allowing us to al-
locate resources more efficiently and focus on the most
critical tasks.
In summary, Measure 9-166 is indispensable for safeguarding
the well-being of our firefighters, enhancing recruitment and
bilities. By supporting this measure, we ensure that our district
remains prepared to deliver prompt, effective, and lifesaving
services to our community.

supporting the diverse needs of our student population.
Without additional funding, essential programs and services
cannot be expanded to meet the needs of the students and
families we serve. This levy offers a solution to this pressing
issue by providing dedicated resources for essentials that our
public education system needs and demands.
By passing this levy, we can safeguard class sizes, which
are essential for effective teaching and learning. Additionally,
we can strengthen career and technical education (CTE)
pathways, ensuring that students are equipped with the skills
necessary for success in the workforce.
One of the most critical aspects of this levy is its impact on
our educators. By allocating resources to recruit and retain
workforce dedicated to our students'growth and development.
Furthermore, passage of the levy will enhance academic op-
portunities for students across content areas, from advanced
academic offerings to elective courses in music, art, technol-
ogy, business, and world languages. This comprehensive ap-
proach to education ensures that every student has access to

The minimal increase in property taxes associated with this
levy is a small price to pay for the significant benefits it will
bring to our community and schools.
We urge voters to join us in supporting the Bend -La Pine
Schools Local Option Levy on May 21, 2024. Together, we can
invest in the future of our students and ensure that Bend -La
Pine Schools remain a great place to learn and grow.

Bend -La Pine Board Members: Local Learning Levy
Essential to Student Success
As your elected School Board Members, we see firsthand
how public education is directly related to our economy, our
neighborhoods, and our quality of life. Ensuring our schools
are prepared for every student to succeed and that there are
enough high -quality educators to avoid overcrowding is a top
priority for our district.
However, the funding we receive from the Oregon Legislature
will no longer fully fund the educational programs that are nec
essary for our students. This Local Learning Levy is crucial tG

An Opportunity to Invest in Educators and Support Staff
Passage of Measure 9-167 would give Bend -La Pine Schools
a much -needed boost in its efforts to recruit and retain quality
teachers and support staff. Investing in our school employees
not only enriches the educational experience of our children but
also bolsters the well-being of our entire community.
We have seen what inadequate funding does to a school

member to another employer.
Competitive salaries and benefits are crucial in drawing
talented individuals to our district, ensuring that our students
receive great instruction and support. Without sufficient re-
sources, the district risks a shortage of skilled professionals in
our classrooms.
Retaining skilled employees requires more than just competi-
tive compensation; it demands a supportive work environment
and opportunities for growth. The Learning Levy ensures that
resources go toward professional development programs,
mentorshin initiatives and innovative teachwa"ools fosterinQ a
culture of continuous improvement and job satisfaction among
staff members.
These are compelling reasons to VOTE YES for the Learn-
ing Levy. By providing the necessary resources to recruit,
retain and support educators and school staff, we can lay the
foundation for a vibrant community where every child has the
opportunity to succeed. Let's prioritize our children's education
by investing in the professionals there to teach, coach, mentor,
protect and support them every day.
