Elk County... Are your property taxes about to go up... again?

[readyaimduck]

Called in or alerted?  Called in for what?

Ice storm, don't come in BECAUSE  the electricity is out and the radio can't broadcast; to have the parents alerted their kid is coming home early, for the bus drivers to fire up those busses...a gunman!

Immediate notification in a situation calls for immediate action...and you just dissed it to a 'johnny threw up'/hall monitor' scenario.

wow!

Uhmm contrary to popular belief, phones sitll work when the power goes out!     They are powered by the phone lines not the electric line.  Get a corded phone and guess what, you have phone service.

Radio broadcast? Simple!  cheap! Solution!  a 699.00 8000 watt generator!

Simple cheap effective.

$9.5+ million and 250 students... Somewhere north of $38,000 per kid per year.  Shoot, that's darn near private college tuition rates.

Do our HS grads have good micro/macro economics training?  If so, hire a couple of em to improve the county economy so average folks can continue to afford this crap!

Wake up citizens... something is disKonnected!  I'm thinking the folks we have elected are disKonnected from reality.  Have you been watching the national economic news?  Apparently our leadership hasn't.

Patriot don't ya know thats the back door that they slipped a new building through!  Watch and see. They'll get that building and then slap the county with new tax to pay for it bypassing the VOTING process!

Read again, ready... it's not parents getting phones,   They have to rely on the phones they pay for to get emergency notifications.  I didn't diss anybody.  I'm thinkin you might have missed the point.

Is it a taxpayer's duty to protect the kids?  I think, Patriot you are dissapointed with the decisions that the School Board makes with your money to protect the school.   Not the kids...

Look at the big picure, not focus on a cell phone.   I would rather pay for a cell phone with a good overall plan, then leather chairs.

I would say, "Run for school board position nect go around", Patriot.

I can't...I don't live in the county.  And I hate paying taxes to a schoolboard that isn't in my county either!   I think that sucks!

ready for the hills

Surely nobody in charge would think the taxpayers/voters are so stupid!  Heaven forbid!  Agendas, what agendas?  

[readyaimduck]

you are correct, Patriot...I did miss the point.  my apologies.

And my point is:
1.  Not sure the spending is in the best interest OVERALL for the county, the school, nor the city. 

FREE MONEY!!!! weeeeee....let's get into more debt so we can build our image....ok..
at who's expence.

ready to ponder a bit and not be so reactive.

Ready, we also have a county crisis contact system that can call lots of numbers.
I'm sure that the county could accomodate the school systems in an emergency.

They tried to ramrod it down the publics throat the last time.  The county though had other ideas and said HELL no.

Do you think that is going to stop Howard or Elk Konnected  from continuing to try?
