CUT SPENDING.
This would be a good start. I am HTML impaired, so I could only provide the link to this $75 MILLION facility. I've called my reps, gone to school board meetings, etc...The local school boards are one of the most tyrannical organizations that I can think of. It makes me cry to think that not only do we have to pay exhorbitant property taxes, but now our business will be taxed exhorbitantly as well to pay for crap like this.

Take it up with your school board.
