Good!
The district wanted an almost 5% increase. I would have had no problem if this matched the rate of inflation. Seems like every time we turn around someone has their hand deeper into our pockets.
Thing is, this isn’t over. Before long I expect the district will be putting the arm on us again for a new or revamped high school as well.
Enough is enough. already!
