[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 155539, member: 3373"] We have a difference of opinion of which neither of us is going to change the mind of the other it would seem. State funding does not currently and never has paid for building bond issues Property taxes are the only means of paying for building projects. Every school at some point is going to need a building fund for repairs if nothing else. The safeguard is that bond issues for building need a 60% approval rating, not just a simple majority. Yes, sometimes schools seem to request a Cadillac and if that is denied then they eventually get down to a plan that 60% of the people think is livable. Not unlike everyone else who has the want or need to do some building or remodeling. Another way to look at the issue is, "If you don't like how the school board is operating, you could run for that board and provide your expert opinion." Or is easier to just complain about how others are doing their job? I will never be convinced that you get better representation from someone who has no idea of your local issues better than you do.
