BG Chamber of Commerce endorses school bond levy

At the September Board of Trustees Meeting of the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Directors voted to endorse the upcoming Bowling Green City Schools Bond Levy.

There are many factors that contribute to the economic growth and development of life in the Bowling Green area, one of the main factors is the quality of our schools. The Mission Statement of the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce is to support an environment for the development and success of business within the Bowling Green area.

The Chamber’s Mission Statement guides us in our actions and the framework or context within which our organization’s strategies are formulated. Supporting the schools is one way we accomplish this. Corporate decision makers look into the school systems before considering bringing their business/projects to a community. Does that community provide quality education? Are the schools competitive in the use of technology and facilities? Will the schools produce a future
quality workforce?

Passage of this levy would not only put the schools on the same level with neighboring school districts as far as vastly improving technological instruction and classrooms, it would drive those corporate decision makers to look at Bowling Green as a community where they would want their companies to be located.
