Guest Guest Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 First of all, all residents that have students in school should have to pay an additional $250 per child in local school taxes per year. Second, if your child is not passing and it is determined by a unbiased panel of parents that the student and parents of that student are not doing everything they can to maximize their kids ability, they lose their child tax credit on their federal tax return. The revenue generated from these 2 ideas would do a ton to solve the school budget issues nation wide, not to mention that student acheivement would increase when mommy and daddy's taxes will go up if little Johnny or Jane are not maximizing their effort?

Guest Guest Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 "We don't spend too much. You just don't pay enough (snicker)" 25 vacation days+ 12 paid holidays= 37 days off ! Well, it's not the whole summer but it's close. When will ever find he time to look for the missing 4 million? Clue: It may be buried under the pool in he new Aquatic Center or near the 2 million dollar stairway to heaven. (4) Holidays – The Superintendent shall be entitled to the following 12 paid holidays each school year, which shall not be cumulative: Fourth of July Thanksgiving and Day After Labor Day Columbus Day Veterans’ Day Martin Luther King Day Christmas Day Good Friday President’s Day New Year’s Day Memorial Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 The school board needs to explain why just under 100 ME students are children of ME teacher that do not live in the school district. These teachers do not live in the school district and do not pay ME school taxes. The school could raise almost a half million dollars by charging $5000 in tuition as is required of these students. 3 choices for these people, 1 charge tuition, 2 go to the school district you live in, 3 live in ME district. This is just one in a dozen ways the school board can save money. I did not know this...no other school district allows this...why does the ME school board allow this if the district is broke?

Guest Guest Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 They do have a 2 million dollar diving pool. You people are just not seeing the big picture. It isn't cheap to jump into a pool and make a splash. We need to sacrifice if we are to have the home pool advantage . Think of the pride of those half dozen parents will feel when the judges flash 9.5 after Buffy flops a reverse double bubble butt gainer. There may even be a trophy banner hanging and everything. Your money is no object. Last one in the pool has to pay for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aquaman Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Does anyone know how much the Athletic Director has spent in the past few years? Is it a case of an egomaniac spending absurd amounts of money while an inept Super and board just agree to every request? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Average Joe Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Here's my question so you can research it: Can we Frack on school property - like SUNY wants to? B/c we are broke, son.

Guest Jacob Howenstein Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Here's my question so you can research it: Can we Frack on school property - like SUNY wants to? B/c we are broke, son. Right now because of idiots like Cuomo and Matt Ryan we can't frack anywhere. PA has been fracking for 5 years and I don't see the world coming to an end there. Yes all the school districts could reap big financial rewards if they allowed fracking on school property. All the local governemnts could allow fracking under parks, golf courses, offices etc. Don't hold your breadth, NY state sucks with its Liberal govenrment that drives people away.

Guest Average Joe Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I can't make the meeting. Can someone ask about this? I'd like to know how a water boy can make a wage like that. And why is his pay or position not cut - when essential positions like janitors are being canned? MEs equipment manager was making 38k in 2008 and makes 48k in 2011. Wonder why their going broke!

Guest Guest Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Someone please ask VanFossen and the board why they didn't follow any of the State's reccommendations two years ago to deal with this problem. That's right they met with the State to address this looming problem and neglected to follow any of their advice. I guess VanFossen and his vast knowledge of Social Studies had a better solution.
