The Governor, in his State of the State address, proposed over Two Billion dollars to replace school buildings! Recently, we’ve seen and heard the reports of Our schools falling apart. Is help on the way? House Bill 292 is providing millions of dollars to schools. Couple that with the millions of dollars schools already have in reserve accounts; and this is good news!
What could this mean for property tax payers? Well, it should mean no more bonds or funding from property taxes. The State seems to be moving in the direction of funding the schools with excess income taxes paid.
I think a comprehensive building plan and school property sell off might be appropriate. Imagine new schools in one or two locations? Exciting times are ahead of us if properly executed! Write your school board and let them know what you think!
