Ever see a Bond Measure you didn’t love, Coos Bay Public School District, Nov. 7th 2017 ballot. Favorite saying, The Community is responsible for Capital expenditures and maintaining, by ponying up money outside the school budget, which don’t do it.
Wow! Follow the money, Who receives, contributors to the campaign, recipients of funds. Who pays. First, Customers, paying to business owners. Second, property owners assessed at $1.60 per $1000 property value, for 25 years. The property owners collect from their tenants to pay, if no tenants, you just pay.
If your property tax cost is going up 3 percent each year, more than the prior year, that will tend to compound over 25 years. Your assesst value is going up, so do you pay more or less bond money?
This is not about education, Coos Bay Schools are 61.5 percent of the State’s median performance of 74.8, Common Core Test and high school graduation. Oops, Kate Brown asked for State Deputy Superintendent of schools, to Resign, for releasing that info at this time.
Coos Bay Schools, funny business. Milliner Crest. Student need capacity, remodel. Oops, Student enrollment in district on decline, close and consolidate schools. Move Management into Milliner Crest.
A School has fire, rebuilt, but not good enough in 1993, now needs ??????
Bunker Hill school, the dance with me, on and off again school, now used by charter school.
All of the school closures, and disposal of property, funds were applied to upgrades and maintenance of remaining facilities. YAH.
Cram, as many students into the school most possibly needing replacement, close and depose of the better ones, claim the overenrollment/underenroment dance, BOND.
What Bond monies will go to Pers?
