[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's great that we're identifying so many deficits.   Clearly, there's a will to increase taxes/allocations to address them, since the 25-year underfunding of the system is what has made it so, as much as, if not more than, any mismanagement.  Run the numbers.[/quote]

Underfunding???? What are you smoking?[/quote]

Again, run the numbers.  Check the budget per student and compare that to whichever district you'd like to emulate.

Look at the budget requests for the past quarter-century, and then look at the eventual County Council appropriation, which has consistently under-funded the requests.  Check into all the ever-delayed/deferred facility projects that have resulted.  Imagine the extra maintenace coats for older infrastructure that come with those delayed capital projects.

Identify the impact of sweetheart-deal-to-developer exceptions to impact taxes.  Research the near giveaways of county educational property to private purposes that could have supported better current capacity.

Digest a of this with a reminiscent clip of Sam Seaborn on education from 23 years ago.  Still rings true.  Too bad we've apparently chosen other priorities.[/quote]
