The success of our schools, community and neighborhoods — not to mention our personal investments and commitments — are at stake. We need issue 14 to protect what we have and to move Akron into the future.

Every single vote counts! Each of us must play a part; we can't have free riders. At $7 per month on the average home, the price is right. Please, after no new levy since 2006, we respectfully ask you to be an "APS Voter" in 2011.

There is so much at stake — for all of us. Education matters.
