you are on the right track.if you combined boards of ed
in small adjacent municipalities with each other and
eliminated superintendants and other administrative positions you would have the beginning of a way
to keep property taxes low…then you would do the
same for police, paid fire, courts, judges, and
public works…..eliminate the bosses and the
top heavy payscales..and keep the workers….

If school freeze all spending and hold off on raises, taxes will still go up. Just the operation costs of the buildings and busing will increase and with the overall assessment of towns going flat, taxes will go up.
The Gov. is looking at schools to save and maybe there should be a review on all the mandated administrators needed.
Maybe the Gov should not be purchasing expensive rugs for his office !!!!!!!
