It was clear then…Tax payers were stunned at paying that much money for a rather mediocre performing school in a state where the average education is rather…MEDIOCRE.
The private elementary school average is $8,511 per year and the private high school average is $27,319 per year.
The people in the room were aghast! The letters I received (all anonymous of course) were numerous. At least I was scolded for being an alarmist. At worst I was told to leave and never return for scaring the hell out of the residents.
Well what was unthinkable in the past has now arrived…and guess what YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. Pay up folks and expect an increase next year…and the year after that, and the year after that.
The School Board clearly does not know how to manage money… With the amount of unpaid Property Taxes topping out at over $1M and unfunded road and sewer repair and replacement estimates nearing $15M, hard to imagine prudent financial managers recommending these types of increases.
OHB…keeping it real… making it easier for you to find the facts so you can draw your own conclusions…..
