We can't allow lesser outcomes simply because we're different. Nor can we allow unrestricted spending because we're different. But I don't see how school performance and facilities maintenance are very closely related in his demand for statistics. "Show me how good you're doing before I'll fix your leaky roof" simply doesn't make sense to me. Last year's defeated school bond was to fund nice-to-haves, including changing perfectly functioning analog security cameras to new digital ones. It deserved to fail. This year the bond issue is leaner and is funding necessities...failing roofs and HVAC systems. I didn't vote for last year's bond package, but I will this year, knowing it's on top of my property taxes and my kid's private school tuition. Although they likely bought the cameras with our property taxes rather than the bond money anyway.
