That’s nearly $24k PER STUDENT, and it’s a safe bet that none of it goes toward hiring more teachers or buying books (or even e-books).
So you know if this goes through they’ll come back again asking for more money to “hire more teachers”. It’s a scam, time for the schools to start staying within their means.
We don’t need more circuses, we need actual education. That they address this as a “Go Bucks” yea for the home team effort shows that they probably don’t understand that. There are so many phrases that apply…like throwing good money after bad. Show that your students SAT scores ranks higher than other districts and then ask for more funding to continue meaningful education.
