As an open forum for student journalism, The Jacket Journal is committed to informing our readers while upholding the principles of a free and independent student press. In that spirit, we are sharing factual information about the upcoming school levy so that our community can make informed decisions.
An open forum publication means that student editors maintain final authority over content, allowing us to report freely and responsibly. With that responsibility in mind, we have chosen to focus solely on presenting verified facts regarding the levy. This includes what the levy proposes, how it would impact the school district, and key dates and voting information.
At this time, The Jacket Journal will not be taking an editorial position for or against the levy. Instead, our goal is to provide clear, accurate information so that students, families, and community members can form their own opinions and make their own decisions.
We also believe in encouraging respectful dialogue. Comments will remain open on our coverage to allow for community discussion. However, if conversations become unproductive or inappropriate, we reserve the right to close comments across posts to maintain a respectful environment.
We encourage our readers to stay informed, ask questions, and participate in the decision-making process.
