The fit is hitting the shan... state and local budgets are in deep doo-doo and with no end in sight. Budget cuts are in order and then what?
Here’s an interesting tidbit related to that.
States are taking hits and are already talking about not holding PubSchool in the fall because of budget shortfalls.
Hmmm, isn’t our local property taxes and subsequent millages considered adequate funding for our locals schools? Haven’t we agreed, ELECTORALLY, that the amount of money we give the school district is adequate? Does it not, then, make sense that our local schools should be able to hold school? There should be no “lack of funds” because we have paid our property taxes.
But, our local taxes are ALL sent to the State who then pools those funds and distributes them according to Statewide need. Your property taxes are actually helping pay for schools in other, unconnected, school districts.
There is a contract agreement at issue here. Neither the State or local district can summarily nullify that contract agreement without due process. Don’t you think your School Board should be held accountable?
