Did you Vote Yes or No? Care to provide your reason?

Voted yes. Very disappointed this failed. But also not surprised… 

A quality school district contributes to the attractiveness of a community for families. Schools employ hundreds of local residents. Education is an investment that affects more than just the children currently enrolled. Funding would help support school resource officers and campus security. Additional funding could help maintain classroom resources and instructional programs. The district identified student programs as a funding priority. Students shouldn't lose educational opportunities because of funding pressures

I agree as well and our student and teachers shouldn't have been pushed aside. I will admit there are so many that do not trust our current administration when it comes to managing money decisions. We currently have teachers with payroll issues, rescent retirees that can not get paid their retirement payments, previous admin that recently retired from high level positions( Superintendent) that were rehired to "Manage" projects, coaches that have retired a couple times and our District is paying healthy paychecks too for sports like baseball. If our district is struggling this bad financially then make the necessary cuts and hire for the current positions with the appropriate pay. If our admin learns to manage the money we currently have it will definitely help but I agree we still need funds to help in the proetction of our children with resource officers, our special ed programs and much more. Until our current admin proves they can properly manage the money and business decsions we will never gain the support of our community. Last question so many have asked is, why do we have so many Principles for all the different school locations? Do we truly need a Principle and three assistants to manage each elementary school?
