I am currently running for the School Board in my District..It is a payless job requiring about 20 hours a week.
People hate you and scream at you in the meetings...why am I doing it?
Taxes in my district for the school have gone up 35% over the past 4 years...services for the kids have dropped..we are a fast growing community and the builders are making a fortune....BUT ..they pay no impact fees for the TONS of kids their houses are putting in our schools.
I have proposed a fee that will let us keep ahead of the costs but the current board (They have no kids in the school,I have 2, and mostl working in the building related fields) do not want THEIR pie hurt...It is time someone stepped up and fought for the local people rather than the builders....
