Thank you for voting in school election

Editor

I want to take a brief moment to thank the voters who participated in the annual school election held Sept. 20. A record number of voters -- compared to voting numbers over the last 25 years of Gentry school elections -- turned out. All told, 368 votes were cast. A little more than two thirds supported the 3.1 mill increase needed to fund construction of a new intermediate school and a diesel technician building. I know also, in my heart, that those who voted otherwise had their reasons. My thanks for voting goes to both groups.
