School budget

star_inventionOur new district school budget did not pass the vote last night. It was an all or nothing budget that if passed meant an additional $1000 in taxes to homeowner, and if not passed, they are to go to the austerity budget and cut down all/most after school programs. So the budget did not pass. And 2 minutes ago I get an email from Rebekah Girl Scouts troop leader telling us that since the budget did not pass, they will not be able to use school afte school hours for meeting and thus need to find a new meeting space. I am guessing that art, theater, music, clubs and all other things are next on the chopping block.

UPD: OK, I am even more upset, since the new budget was going to be only $300 in taxes, not $1,000. Rumors are they will try to re-vote for it again since it did not pass by only 22 votes.
