That is true. But that is not what this is about.

this will NEVER pass!! property tax is a JOKE!

the donegal school district is the on of the worst academically. why should we pay more for such poorly performing students? is the problem that their school is old? is it that the teachers suck?

these poor elderly people who are on a fixed income will have to keep paying for kids to go to school? what a shame.

vote NO on this crap!! power to the people!!

so based on the above post, we should all just give up on the schools because they're already bad. Are we legally required to provide an education through 12th grade. Maybe we should just stop at 8th. Let the older kids wander the streets before they are old enough to work. The residents of the communities can take care of them.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Economics 101.

I've attended the school board meetings to watch as the unnecessary items were cut from the project. What is left now is about as fiscally responsible as it can get. Vote yes, or pay more when the schools fall down.
