With School District 199 about to afflict us with another levy vote Nov. 5, please try to think past the propaganda the school administration is so good at now.

In spite of how they approach the subject, schools around here are not underfunded. They weren't underfunded even before the Legislature made this an education year and handed over a lot of money to the schools. The real issue isn't the amount of money, it's how it's used. Getting it past the administration level into the classrooms is the biggest challenge in all the districts.

The other thing to think about is that after receiving all the latest funding, the first thing out of the district representatives' mouths was, "It's not enough." It never will be enough for these people.

I'm all for quality education, but the way it's set up now is ridiculous. Please keep voting no until they finally get the message. Time is running out because one of their goals is to take voters out of the equation altogether. Put on the brakes while we still can.
