DO YOU TRULY SUPPORT OUR FUTURE LEADERS? - Please read.?

Question

Colorado...Mill Levy Override has been put on the ballot!!!!

As a parent of a Jefferson County Elementary student, I want to IMPLORE that all registered voters in Colorado vote a solid YES on the Mill Levy Override bill.

By voting "yes" you are affording local schools the ability to maintain their teachers and to provide our 21st Century students a 21st Century learning environment.

This will cost little to nothing for the average homeowner (approx an additional $2 per every $100,000 of your homes value) and is a desperately needed resource for the future of our schools.

By NOT voting for this override, our schools will meet with drastic changes and problems. An already overcrowded class will become even more so as an average of 2 teachers per Elementary school, 2.5 teachers per Middle school and 3 teachers per High School will be laid off. Support staff (teaching aides, nurses, technical support etc.,) will all but disappear. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR OUR KIDS.

VOTE "YES"

Remember also, a good school increases the value of your neighborhood and your property - PLEASE tell everyone you know how important this is.

We should wish to support our local schools in every way we can, they are teaching OUR future leaders!!

I know this is not a question, but I would love to get your support on this and welcome all questions and/or comments.

THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago...

and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.

We had absolutely no national debt...

We had the largest middle class in the world...

and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What happened?

Can you spell 'politicians!'

Answer 2

I'm not familiar with how the Centennial State makes distribution of its tax revenues to public education. But, here in Nevada, 91% of tax revenues allocated to public education (Kindergarten through University levels) goes to salaries and benefits. That leaves 9% for the classroom. I'd like to suggest, before you ask your fellow Coloradans to pay more taxes for public education, you look at how the current tax revenues are distributed. You might be shocked enough to demand an independent audit and accounting.
