I have no idea. I don’t have kids and I’m of the belief that whoever is on the school board should have some skin in the game....IE...kids in the school.
As for the money being spent, that’s what the county tax assessor and finance people are paid to do.
One thing I have seen though, which boggles my mind, is folks running for school board. They say all the right things. Have good ideas. Want transparency, no underhanded crap and no critical race theory crap. No common core. No ridiculous new way to do math.
Just Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. Folks agree with them. They NEVER win.
I think folks are just worn down and accepting of property taxes and school taxes, thinking they can’t do anything about them other than pay them and deduct them from their taxes, that they don’t care.
Everything about the system is wrong. Donald Trump was exposing ALL of it and they got rid of him.
The people who have skin in the game are the taxpayers whose “rent to the government” aka property taxes fund the operation.
Parents are largely gimmedats who want to spend, spend, spend. Nothing is too good or too costly for their kiddos.
A good school board has a balance of taxpayer watchdogs and parents.
Thanks qaz.
Yes, I have seen that before over here in California.
First one who starts ‘makin’ sense’ may end of losing.
