Secret meeting huh?

Sound like more of their same old game. You can only come if you agree with us. Just like they did with the old "sports grant" scam.

Guess they know they can't compete fairly.

Seems like all the real information they put up on that http://www.RockfordReferendum.info site just shows the scam they're trying to pull off here. Wonder how they're going to explain the $44 MILLION number! Guess I won't find out since I wasn't on the special invite list. Can't imagine why?!

QUESTION when they say it will be charged to us per our market value- which one?
We have the county market value than we have the second one that is the revised from the homestead tax?
Also does this change year to year as we all know that the market value changes almost daily?

QUESTION As yourself why are there NO public information meetings for the GENERAL PUBLIC,? Only have them for parents and they are kept kinda secret.?

QUESTION How many of these parents that are for the increase are going to be happy when they are paying for it after their children are out of school ?. PARENTS There will come the day when you do not have children in school and are on a fixed income and THINK about having an increase like this for several years- WILL YOU BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT?.

QUESTION- HOW many people do we have in the school district that are on FIXED incomes?, HOW many are VISITING THE FOOD SHELF, LOSING their homes and or living DAY TO DAY/.?????????????

QUESTION Ask yourself when will ANOTHER operational bond will be introduced?

NOTE THEY CAN HAVE A SPECIAL ELECTION OR PUT IT ON BALLOT EVERY YEAR................................................

QUESTION - How many of the school staff, adminstration will be paying for this in their taxes?

QUESTION- Mr. Durand stated that there are NO, JUST NO PARKS in Rockford and Greenfield- where has he looked.? Rockford has Lions Park, Greenfield has Three rivers park. Only Corcorran has one, I believe that is land that actually belongs to school district.

QUESTION - Is there a REASON why the empty lot across from the middle school is vacant, that was a parking lot years ago- Sell that and put that money in levy

COMMENT- Mr. Durand needs to do a little history research- He stated that it would not work to have 7th thru 12th at High school. Look back in the 90's they were all there and smaller grades were separated except for lunch and sharing the gym. It worked out

QUESTION; How long have these different things been neglected, ? Doubt that it is more than 5 years, what has the school board and their staff been doing>?

Question- what is their annual maintance ?????????????????? How long have some of these items in need of repair been broken or starting to break down.

QUESTION - did you notice the new landscaping outside the district office that was done last summer? How much was that?. The money could have been used for some of these ground projects

QUESTION; WHY NOT CLOSE THE MIDDLE SCHOOL- you would need less office staff, administration, bussing time, kitchen staff ( actually it could all be cooked at one school and transported to other building if we were down to TWO.?

INFORMATION- did you know the school board has 3 people up for election this fall and the other 3 up in another 2 years- THINK ABOUT IT - WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED.////////////////////[

ARE YOU READY FOR HIGHER TAXES.
