This is My WHY:
As a proud resident of Aurora and a parent of three children who have participated in numerous interscholastic activities, I’ve had the opportunity to observe over 40 high schools in the last five years. Our own Aurora High School consistently ranks in the top 20 high schools in Ohio. This outstanding achievement not only highlights our academic excellence but also makes our community a highly desirable place to live, attracting families looking to relocate and ultimately boosting our property values.
However, despite these high rankings, I’ve noticed that the condition of our school and its facilities is slipping. In our Suburban League Athletic Conference, rival schools in Tallmadge, Barberton, Highland, Revere, and soon Kent and Cuyahoga Falls, have all opened or are in the process of building new high schools. Visiting Tallmadge, for instance, you can see firsthand the impressive state of their new high school campus.
The need for a new high school in Aurora is clear. If we want to maintain our competitive edge and continue to attract new residents, we must invest in our school infrastructure. By approving the upcoming bond issue on the November ballot, we can ensure that our schools not only maintain their high academic standards but also provide a physical environment that reflects our commitment to excellence and meets modern educational needs.
Let's come together to support this crucial investment in our community's future. Voting for the bond issue is not just about building a new high school; it's about securing the long-term success and desirability of Aurora as a place to live and raise a family. If we neglect this opportunity, we risk losing potential new residents to other communities with better facilities, which would negatively impact our property values and the vitality of our town.
Please join me in voting for the bond issue this November to ensure that Aurora remains a top choice for families and continues to thrive for generations to come.

This is My WHY:
On November 5th, Aurora voters have the opportunity to build upon our award-winning education and complement it with world-class facilities our children and community deserve. I encourage you to vote yes and support Aurora City Schools.
Approval of Issue #32 addresses multiple facility-related problems throughout the district including overcrowding in elementary buildings and lack of adequate performing arts space. It provides additional athletic and meeting spaces for community use. It gives us the ability to showcase our district with a new high school and reorganize lower grade levels into the remaining existing buildings. A quick trip to surrounding districts and tours of their new buildings is evidence to me that our facilities are falling behind to meet the needs of today's young learners.
The consequences of having buildings that no longer compete by today's standards cannot be overlooked. Many Aurora homeowners may have been surprised by the recent growth in property reappraisals, but I implore you to view it with a sense of pride. The increase in the value of our homes is the direct result of the decades of support this community has given to our schools. It has made Aurora a safe and desirable community for young families. Our children have thrived while achieving the highest academic standards.
We have now reached an inflection point that requires us to act and address serious needs throughout the district. Please do not abandon the investment so many have already made to build up this community that we now benefit from. Let's further advance our schools, vote yes on Issue 32, and continue our pursuit of academic and community excellence.
