| The heck of it is, farms usually have been reevaluated every year in an up market, houses for the most part are done around 3-10 in most towns around here. The last big bond issue here, seen the town the school was in go up less than a couple million on around sixty million in value, where the rest of the district outside of town went up in value more than the value of the entire town every year for a few years, so I do feel it was very disproportionate. Kind of glad in a way they built when they did as inflation has really made new construction extremely difficult. And yes the classroom portion was about 25% and guessing another 20% to facilitate updates with the big end going to gym, weight rooms, etc.. I agree we need to keep our schools, the area dies off when the basic community can't be kept up, but it is slanted in funding in my opinion. It was an eye opener at the time. A person that moved into the district years ago, from I believe Arizona, was talking one day how when he set on a school board there they had a time when they had gotten so much funding from the federal govt. that they had built auto shops to train the students in, updated all the schools etc., just looking for ways use the funding mostly. I always figured if the people who worked in tax exempt places would pay one or two percent of their wages in tax for schools and county infrastructure, it would certainly help fund things, and there would be much more responsible laws and spending. | |
