After paying an attorney $10,000 to research this position. And then they come to us and have the nerve to ask for more money "for the kids". They didn't seem to worry to much about a shortage then, did they? I say pass the Mill Levy as soon as we see the current board either resign or come clean on what went on. I myself am going to contact the Great Falls Tribune and the TV station to see if they are interested in going to a school board meeting.watchdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569737358302633142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-68621091406076949812010-03-09T14:37:34.032-07:002010-03-09T14:37:34.032-07:00if they cut the busing they could save, 10 kids on...if they cut the busing they could save, 10 kids on a 40 passenger bus doesn't make sense, also why is it a lot of the school districts contract the busing but not havre?br549https://www.blogger.com/profile/16424354229712690149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-72923038148907317432010-03-09T12:11:31.222-07:002010-03-09T12:11:31.222-07:00Don’t really see it as a tough call.

Surely if they are any kind of decent managers at all they can find that amount of money without cutting any services to the students.<br /><br />I find it insulting that they always tell us they will have to cut student programs or terminate a teacher if we don’t do their bidding and vote for increases. Cut some of the overhead. <br /><br />I also would like to know who paid for that sign. I am guessing it was the taxpayers via the school system<br /><br />The do it for the kids people must think we are dang stupid.<br />No to the mill levy and no to the current school board that thinks all taxpayers are too simple minded to understand their high fluting ways<br /><br />If you can waste $150,000 for terminating a contract and everything is secret you don't need the extra $44,000 plain and simple<br />We need to send the school board a message by voting to defeat this levyJimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15610994123503933359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-5142790856972427622010-03-09T11:28:14.398-07:002010-03-09T11:28:14.398-07:00It's a tough call.

The school tax got to this point over many years by trivial increases like $3.91. I am insulted by the attitude of the school board towards us ignorant peeps that wouldn’t understand even if we knew the facts about what happened with our former superintendent. <br /><br />I am with Freddy on this one and voting no to everythingSupermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316261676935099707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-86065089534501076252010-03-09T08:44:41.228-07:002010-03-09T08:44:41.228-07:00I am also voting against the mill levy as well as ...I am also voting against the mill levy as well as the replacement of the current board member whose terms are up.
