Sorry. My tax bill is going up by the second with all the State of Washington legislature increases. Gas tax 15 cents per gallon increase, property tax increase tripling, car fees going up…. Enough is enough, and I will NEVER vote yes for another local levy until the spend other people’s money of the government is fixed.
I am voting No again on this school levy. Battleground approved $14,000 to read porn books the teacher librarian approved. Parents wanted those books out of the schools. The staff approved them all again, except one. Apparently, the schools have money.
The teachers are not good teachers, since the grades are low in math and reading. How do they have money to run another election so soon? We are being taxed to death and now having parental rights taken away, what is going on here?
Vote NO on the school levy.
Get these students up to the level they should be since the lockdowns.
When the district has some of its own employees (including some union representatives) talking of wanting to see the levy fail, you have problems. For years the district has mismanaged funds – the result is buildings that are poorly maintained, students allowed to engage in violence and vandalism in the schools, unused student materials thrown away that are still in boxes and the creating of more “administrative” positions. The result of this – declining test scores and graduation rates. It’s time for BGSD to join the other area districts and go on a “forced” $20M diet. Maybe it would be the reason for the incoming superintendent to rethink the district’s priorities, such as returning to educating students and restoring some form of discipline to our schools.
