Shirley, you jest.
Its a joke, right?
It took a year to bring it up?
Education budgets are a way to keep eggheads on welfare.
the funds should be refunded in the form of school vouchers to be used for private school tuition.
killing fossil fuels, taking away our guns, letting illegals invade our country, and continuing to kill babies....
Shut and pay, peasant.
I sent an email to my county’s superintendent of schools last May asking why I wasn’t refunded my property tax assessment for schools since they were closed. No response. Surprise, surprise.
20 million in savings and they toss 10 million to the plebes. We should be grateful for 200 dollars per household.
What are they doing with the balance of 10 million in windfall savings? Why doesn’t that money go back to the taxpayers?
There is so much to be seen in this window on the soul of this school district
That’s a great question! It’s complicated.
Can I circle back to you on that?
I would fire all of them including the 2 in my family.
Bbaaaawwwaaahhhhhh...

A superintendent will often speak for a district. But I don’t think he has any power when it comes to tax issues. I’d suggest that you contact your school board instead.
There aren’t that many variable costs in a school. Most costs are fixed and many costs are going way up.
Districts are spending huge unplanned sums for PPE, sanitizing, shields, sanitizing stations, etc. Classes, when they resume, are half-full, so double the number of classes and hence double the number of teachers. Certain professions like school nurses must be on site whenever any children are there, so with double the number of classes, you have double the number of nurses. With double the number of classes, costs for utilities actually double and do not go down.
Many districts provide computers to their students for remote learning and also provide the Internet connectivity for low-income students.
People who think there are savings in all of this mess aren’t familiar with what it takes to run a school and haven’t thought through school budgets very clearly. My wife manages purchasing at a medium size K-8 school district and it’s been a trying year for everybody in the district, but there sure aren’t any savings.
The Corsicana (Texas) ISD had the football stadium lights on last night. That has aggravated some people. Me included since so many were told to conserve.
I think they should do this everywhere!!
Well online private schools only cost about 45% per student of what a public school district costs. The reason there is no money to refund is because public school district employees get full pay whether they have any work to do or not. I have a neighbor who works for a school district in the transportation department who is out in his yard doing landscaping projects every day. He said since there is no transportation going on right now so he doesn’t have any work to do but still gets paid.
