On May 16, residents of West Ada School District will vote on a Plant Facilities Levy (PFL). There is A LOT to understand to be an informed voter. To help, Superintendent Dr. Bub takes us on a tour of Lake Hazel Middle School to show the need and explain the details.

Listen, we get it, this video is long. To assist, below is a list of the topics that Dr. Bub covers and the time you can jump to in the video to learn more. You can also take a deeper dive into the data he references by visiting WestAda.org/PFL. Thank you in advance for being willing to educate yourself on the need facing our community and for exercising your civic opportunity to vote.
