I'll mention it to her, but if it's like anything else, the school board is more worried about raising taxes and where to build a new administration building then the kids going to the school. Honestly, if we weren't so invested where we're at we'd move to a different school district. This one has gone way down hill from when I was in school.
Exactly! And with many administrations, "issues" are hidden by principals so they won't get to the people who can make changes without people elevating the issues themselves.
Mind you, my house is an early modular so for all anyone cares it's classes as a trailer, so my taxes arnt terribly high for my area. I'm a little under 1 acre of land here, and I doubt they have factored in the shop. (Yet.) Our taxes basically doubled in the 10 years we've lived here. $1700.00 in 2013 and my school tax alone is closer to $3k this year. Neighbor across the lane said his place is over $4k a year. Its sickening.
There is some good in public schools, but much evil also. A local system here has a great set up ( for themselves) if an employee has a grievance and wanted to bring it up before the board you had to request that through the district admin and they got to decide if it got on the agenda or not.
When I was hauling flatbed, I went to Wisconsin almost weekly. 9 times out of 10, my backhaul would be landscape stone from the mines around Fond Du Lac. The only white folks in the business were in the loader or behind a desk. All the guys sorting rocks were Mexican, and they were always working their asses off, usually with a big smile on their face.
My wood stays out full time so I have to keep it covered to stay dry. Many years ago I stored wood in my basement. That area is now a vault and the woodstove is upstairs.

I’m waiting on mine too . They are due in October.
How are your schools funded ?
Sounds like my area!! The Hispanic workers even have their own strip club, they are all Latina dancers…
