In doing so, it is inevitable that the revenue caps and QEO will be seen as obstacles to educational excellence and there will be public outcry to repeal this unjust legislation. The Great Schools Plan is a bold plan. We are at a defining moment. We must take action and define the moment or someone else will do it for us. People value good education and great schools.
Nothing sells a house like a great school.
The point is, there are many people and organizations that have a stake in our public schools. Last year, voters approved referendum measures in some districts for school building projects or to exceed the revenue caps. Unfortunately, those people have been silent for too long. We must form coalitions with these groups and challenge Cate Zeuske to tell the rest of the story. We must work with others to question why school spending is considered a big drain, while spending for prisons and state office buildings is not.
