What is a school trustee's favorite extracurricular activity? Spending taxpayer money!
Educrats and most school trustee's seem to have a hard time understanding the concept of education. Most believe that bigger and newer buildings are the answer to their problems. Most know that these buildings don't take the TAKS exams and the building has very little to do with student success.
Schools are not the only problem! Cities and Counties have a spending problem as well.

Taxpayers take matter into their own hands
Nearly 60 percent of voters in the Duncanville school district voted against a massive property tax hike on Tuesday, while some 73 percent voted against a similar measure in Cedar Hill. The multi-million-dollar tax hikes were defeated by a $30 grassroots campaign, and a little commonsense. The proposed tax rate increase was for maintenance and operations. The schools wanted to raise the rate from $1.04 to the state max of $1.17. The people decided the schools needed to learn to live within their means!
