Yes, you are correct about those property value "assessments" arriving around Christmas though the bills don't come until March.

Even then I look forward to challenging their "assessments" regularly - and more often than not, I win!

it was always understood that we were paying for our excellent schools but as those bills continued going up, test scores flatlined and then legislators voted to "equalize" tax dollars to all school districts throughout KS regardless of costs or needs.

This has produced to skimping on monies needed in wealthier districts, i.e. SM and now Blue Valley.

They started that garbage in Texas. We called it the Robbing Hood plan. Resulted in most all the public schools being below par. My grandkids go to private schools - which is why granny is still working.
