Whereas, the Johnson County Board of Supervisors recognizes the importance of education to the overall success and quality of life in a community; and

Whereas, the Iowa City Community School District provides superior educational opportunities to its students across a broad spectrum of interests; and

Whereas, enrollment in the Iowa City Community School District is growing at such a rate that the present facilities are becoming overcrowded, and, in some cases are already overcapacity; and

Whereas, the Iowa City Community School Board has outlined a plan to ease the overcrowding and improve educational opportunities by improving existing facilities and constructing additional facilities throughout the school district; and

Whereas, said facilities will be financed via the issuance of $39 million in bonds, which is the subject of the February 11, 2003, referendum; and

Whereas, the Johnson County Board of Supervisors feels it is necessary to address the overcrowding issue to ensure the quality of education provided to the students; and

Whereas, passage of the February 11, 2003, bond referendum is necessary to ensure the quality education of our young people into the coming years.

Now, Therefore Be It Resolved, by the Johnson County Board of Supervisors, that this Board supports the Iowa City Community School Board’s efforts to pass the School Bond referendum scheduled for February 11, 2003. Further, the Johnson County Board of Supervisors urges citizens to become informed on the issue and vote on February 11, 2003.
