[QUOTE="Cobra, post: 1412031, member: 1172"] Updates: Taking somewhat of a break until the new year when things will be haywire.. Learned a lot of inside information about the union negotiations and current Board operations. Apparently, neither the Union nor the Administration gained anything this past round. Meanwhile in a larger district both the Union and Administration thought they won. There is a lack of "game" here. Reached out to the local governing body as well. We will see if they support me/us. Anyone know much about School District Tax levies? I find it difficult to grasp that property values are rising in the wake of this school district disaster. Anyways, the district is asking for more money due to these rising values. I just take it as a 'timing" issue meaning that the effects of declining school quality will be felt in the long run as far as property values. I would appreciate anyone poking holes in this. Districts don't seem to need anything to justify asking for more money except an approved Budget which is approved by Boards that can't manage their money well. [/QUOTE]
