Williamsville is the No. 1 school district in Western New York, based on data supplied by the New York State Education Department. We rank in the top 11 percent in cost-effectiveness, and our spending per pupil is below the state average. The district administration and School Board are to be commended for balancing high-quality education with fiscal responsibility. We have a solid partnership between the community, board and administration that has proven to be very successful. Residents should celebrate that partnership.
Great schools keep property values up and attract new families to our community.
As a homeowner and taxpayer, this is a critical issue for me. To suggest that because our utility bills are high we should penalize our children is at best, illogical, and at worst, irresponsible. Voters need to come out en masse on May 15 to support responsible, experienced pro-education candidates and our excellent school system.
