Missoula residents urge support for school safety levy
Summary
Two Missoula residents told meeting organizers that school safety is nonpartisan and urged community support for a state-authorized safety levy, but details on levy amount or timing were not specified.
Resident 1, a Missoula resident, said, "School safety is not a political issue. I think we when we look at what our legislature has done by allowing for a safety levy, whether you're Democrat or Republican, this is something that they all say is important and valuable."
Resident 2, who identified themself as "a Missoula taxpayer," asked the community to back the measure and to "trust me and trust us to use that money wisely."
The speakers framed school safety as a nonpartisan concern and cited the state legislature's authorization of a safety levy as the legal basis for using local funds for safety measures. Neither speaker specified a levy amount, how the funds would be allocated, or the timeline for any ballot or implementation.
Comments in the transcript were appeals to fellow residents and taxpayers rather than formal motions, votes or official actions; no formal decision or ballot schedule was stated in the provided remarks. The transcript did not identify the meeting venue or organizer, and did not include names beyond the generic speaker labels.
