The simple question remains.
What is more important: your tax liability or your children's future?

Just reporting the news, Donovan. IFalls, like Moscow, had declining
enrollments. Do I want to do this to the children? I want all children
to get a great education. At the same time, my taxes are insanely high.
Why would we want to do this to the parents of those same children?
Jack

Yes Jack,
And the Superintendent John Murdock said, "While people may see on the
surface no change in the classroom, the support services are going to be
reduced dramatically, stated at the bottom of the article. It also
completely drained its reserves. This is how they dealt with budget cuts,
not with declined enrollment as you suggest.
Why do we want to do this to the children and educators of Moscow School
District? Not implying that you do, but others would.
