I fully support the Marion FFA Programs. I do not wish to have any cuts, realignments, adjustments or reductions now or in the future. This program brings value to our students that they can’t receive in other ways through high school. We support the Ag teachers and the program they have worked tirelessly to build.

Don’t mess with Marion FFA! In the ag mechanics department I learned valuable skills such as welding , grinding and physics building projects. Those skills I will use for a lifetime!
I taught 5th Grade for 12 years . I saw, firsthand what an impact FFA had on my students throughout their lives. It would be tragic to reduce or remove FFA from rural schools. I pray that this decision will be carefully considered.
Support our kids,animals and teachers! Thus is a 100 year old program. Gives out more scholarships then atheltics! Positive atmosphere, rewarding and hard work. Don't touch what's NOT broken....
Having had two children that have gone through Marion FFA. I can, without a doubt, say that they both learned valuable leadership skills along with building their confidence to handle life after high school.
FFA at Marion was a huge part of my life when I was in high school. I was active on the parliamentary procedure team, raising animals, etc and would hate to see significant changes to this program.
Proud Marion FFA Alumni; obtained an undergraduate degree in agriculture that was paid for through FFA scholarships. I obtained numerous life skills from the program to include parliamentary procedure, public speaking abilities, responsibility in caring for livestock animals, and more. Without FFA, I would not be successful within my professional career today. I respectively request for the program to remain, and to not realign/adjust in order to meet administrative goals. The students are whom will suffer, and they should be the priority.
With the strong history of the AG program why would current administration want to make changes. This same superintendent oversaw a bond construction to make improvements to AG buildings.

I fully support Marion FFA. This program is a legacy in our district. Maybe it’s the administration that we need to be looking at making some changes in. Not the FFA program that is one of the most successful outcomes of Marion ISD.
