“My property taxes went up 10% this year. Most of it was due to the school portion of the tax bill.
I live in a landlocked older suburb so we are not expanding, no new schools, no increase in population.”
Hmmm, presumably your community is “aging out”? Meaning the school age population is diminishing? If correct, the question you and other residents should ask is “where is the money going and why is more money needed”?
I know where our school taxes are going: pensions and health bennies.
