"Camp County has always had lower taxes than the surrounding area" something to that effect was from a previous poster on this site. I decided to do a little homework on school tax rates and what I found was PISD tax rates have always been higher than the surrounding area. If this bond passes we will have the highest school tax rate in the area.
You owe it to your pocket book to vote "NO" in the upcoming bond election.
If the PISD is serious about facilities improvements then let them appoint an unbiased committee of non-school personnel (and related spouses) to take a serious look at the facility issues. No doubt there are some facility needs; however, building a new high school does not solve the problem. Read the list of needs on the handout sent home by the Primary School on Wednesday. Very little on the handout addresses issues at the high school. According to that handout the Intermediate and Jr. High are the campuses with the most needs, but you are being led to believe that a new high school with a new gym and auditorium will solve all the problems. $15 million would solve most if not all the problems associated with the PISD projected (questionable) growth numbers.
Whatever amount of money you provide to bureaucrats it will never be enough. In the last few years the PISD has received additional tax money with the addition of a new HQ and Distribution Facility for Pilgrim's, Fred's, Family Dollar, Pizza Inn, etc. What did the PISD spend the additional money on? New athletic field house and a rug for the football field! And we are suppose to provide them an additional $36 million. It would be a bad business decision to provide an additional $36 million to an irresponsible operation.
It is your money and your pocketbook.
