Ebsure to read the request closely as my school district has been caught using “fuzzy math” in their request. When called out there was no response, which is very telling.
Somehow this all needs a thorough study. Yes we need the tax to support our public schools which do not charge tuition. Why send money to charters.
But, then so many publis systems continue to tear down and build new facilities. Just how much is needed? Concentrate on teacher support and pay not fancy edifaces.
If we get rid property tax, how will the public school stystem survive??
Before we increase the taxes, let’s be sure we’re spending the existing money wisely. Start by looking at the occupancy of the existing bricks and mortar. I scratch my head at the wisdom of tearing down the school at 25th and Keystone and replacing it with another school.
Anthony, it’s a question that can be answered by a cost benefit analysis. Do the on-going maintenance and repairs of an aging facility (even one that is only several decades old) cost more over another several decades that the cost of a new building that better meets the contemporary needs of education in the 21st century. It is often less expensive to tear down the old and build the new in the long run.
With the public school population deceasing since 2008….Maybe we need to change the way schools are managed…..Consolidation appear not to have worked well.
The voters need to learn how to say no, at least until the school boards and administrators prove they can budget with what they have without reducing teachers and without reducing or lessening the actual purpose of education. The superintendent and the administrators could easily take salary reductions, and many amenities, especially for looks, comfort and bragging rights, could easily be eliminated or at least held off for the future.
In Kevin’s utopia, public schools resemble prisons with no amenities for the “comfort” of the CHILDREN being taught and also can’t afford to hire talented administrators because they can’t offer competitive salaries. That’s going to work brilliantly!
You’re over-estimating just how much money foregoing administrative pay raises (which are already meager) would save. It’s very little. Not enough to even cover the gap in a single school.
I’m voting no on Indy’s referendum. Not because I think that teachers and administrators are paid too much (they are paid far too little), but because it would steal more money from public schools and shovel them into charters and vouchers. Only public institutions should be getting public money.
Charters are one of the few things I would disagree with you on, AR, and that’s okay!
The insanity of the state having a large budget surplus while local communities are forced to raise taxes to educate their kids is mind boggling. The bottom line though is that this is the leadership Hoosiers voted for. I fail to see how anything has been “reformed” in the property tax system!
Exactly. All of this slashing and austerity is completely unnecessary. There’s no reason for Indy to jump through hoops just to get money for roads and schools that it has already paid more than its fair share into. It’s almost like the GOP gets a jolly out of hurting people they don’t like…
