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.

  1. 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!
