With a school system in crisis from more than a decade of underfunding, the Board of Supervisors took the low road Monday night and voted for willful ignorance.
It's shameful and not unexpected. I've been attending or watching BOS meetings from home for years. Some of those same people who begged the supervisors not to raise taxes at the recent budget hearing speak at budget hearings yearly. They make their yearly pilgrimage to budget hearings to beg the supervisors not to raise taxes. Chris Yakabouski had it exactly right.
Again, the school division is left to rob Peter to pay Paul while some of the same people who don't want our schools properly funded manufacture chaos like book banning that serves to distract and take time and resources away from a public school division's real purpose, educating students.
Thank you. I wonder what percentage FTE's make up of the overall employment in the school system if they are almost 3 out of every 4 of those employed by the county as a whole?
The point does clearly show how little regard that county has to school employees compared to the rest of the county's work force if they are not likewise making up 74% of the overall county employees.
Pennywise and pound foolish. Today's "conservatisim".

Yes, shameful. Again, why is new growth not paying its fair share? Excellent points made by Becky and Emma.
What's an FTE?
Full-time equivalent. Basically a full-time employee
