The sad sad reality is MOST schools being built around the country are obscenely ornate structures. Sure, they have to last a long time, but taxpayers are footing the bills. It would be interesting to know what the AVERAGE cost of building a new high school is., and how much it is effecting our taxes.
In San Antonio, School Taxes are crazy high - lumped in with our property taxes. Actually it is the bulk of our property taxes... which is extremely high. I certainly don’t see the quality of education rising., I see the various district School Boards trying to out-do one another.
Your taxes are extremely high, but you can buy your home for peanuts....Yes I am jealous...lol.
