Supporting Neligh-Oakdale schools is one of the best things we can do to protect our property values and the investment we have made in our home.
I trust the Neligh-Oakdale Schools leadership to make the right decisions about improving our district.
We are falling behind neighboring school districts in keeping our schools up-to-date and in good condition.
I am willing to pay more to provide the type of schools that our kids need and deserve.
We get excellent value in education for the taxes we pay to Neligh-Oakdale Schools.
People like me cannot afford higher property taxes, no matter how good the cause.

Every child in our community deserves a safe school where they can learn and thrive.
Our children deserve the same opportunities and resources as students in other communities.
Failing to make building repairs now will only result in much higher costs in the future as conditions worsen and prices increase.
By improving our schools, we create a stronger, more united community for future generations.
It is time to address the very serious problems with our schools.
Our schools are over capacity. We must address overcrowding.
No child should have to learn in overcrowded classrooms or outdated buildings.
If we expect our kids, when grown, to do right by their own children, we need to set an example for them right now by providing the schools they need.
Investing in up-to-date classrooms will better prepare students for high skill, high wage, high demand jobs or success in higher education.
The District has rolled back its tax rate a total of xx cents over the past two years. Passing this proposal will only increase the tax rate xx cents over what it was two years ago.
Our school facilities are fine just the way they are. Nothing needs to be done to improve but basic maintenance.
