time I heard.

I believe that the current school levy funding ignoring vocational
students needs is highly discriminatory. If you don't agree me, perhaps
these statistics will change your mind. 
 
Who in your opinion needs more support from the community?:

It seems like it is a common pattern to better fund those with the
greatest advantage to began with. Why is it too much to ask that the MSD
promise to allocate more funding so the kids that cannot afford lunch
get the same opportunities in a public education system as kids that can
afford to buy lunch everyday?
 
Best,
 
Donovan
