School Not-fine-ance
Something needs to be done soon to fix our school finance problem. I saw something online encouraging people to write their representatives to do away with the portion of property taxes going to schools. Instead it suggested that schools should be funded through a fair sales tax. It showed four options, one being how we have it now and the other two not much better options. I am not sure if the sales tax is the best option either, but it is a better option than what we are using. I hope this lawsuit gets through the system quickly. I would like to see a change before next school year. More importantly, our students across the state deserve a better system.

I agree that it is our students that are suffering. It is sad for me to see wonderful teachers taking jobs in other professions because of the cutbacks!
