Tax rates and SAT scores

Wichita Falls Independent School District has announced they're going to live with the existing tax rate. Of course, their revenues increased $5 million between 2005 and 2007, the same time student enrollment was dropping.

One of those reasons might explain why the school board is hiking the superintendent’s salary from $175,000 to $190,000 per year. Right? It certainly could not be because their SAT scores dropped like a rock over the last 10 years… So, why is he getting a pay raise? And why aren't the people getting their money back - after all it appears they got a bad hamburger!

Thanks to the folks at Empower Texans who keep track of all this good wasteful spending.....................

Wonder if they would have an interest in a review of the PISD?
