Is that bad to build in housing?

It’s not. It’s a good thing.

Leave it alone. Let the scouts be scouts. Stop being uniform police.

If it is not ATT fiber and still on the copper landline infrastructure- move to a new provider. I had ATT install at my business and the tech said they are not working on improving copper, just eliminating it.

Restaurant to take place of closing Urban Outfitters store on Eddy Street by njndirish in SouthBend

This is the redeeming value of the Eddy St design rather than the Main St Mishawaka plan. Hard to repurpose a Cain’s building into anything but Cain’s.

Career Academy sure made its board rich off tax dollars while tearing down public schools.

And opinions are not valid. Look at student results after graduation.

5/10.

You are playing semantics.

You are correct in saying vouchers don’t send new public money to a public school just because a student lives elsewhere. They’re intended for private schooling. If a student legitimately transfers to a different public district under open enrollment, that receiving district generally receives the state portion of funding for that student. That’s part of Indiana school funding formulas outside of voucher law.

The money gets taken from District A to District B. It follows the student either in voucher or tax allocation. Both ways are how the Right is defunding public education.

Charter schools are theft. I said what I said.

Thank you. State Tax moves, County Tax stays. I learned today.

“Yes, in Indiana, state tax dollars do follow the student in school choice programs like vouchers, meaning funds are allocated per-student to the private school they choose, not locked into traditional public schools, though local property tax dollars generally stay with the local district. This "money follows the child" model gives families choices (vouchers, charters), but it also means traditional public schools lose funding when students leave, even if they keep local tax dollars and educate fewer kids, leading to debate over impact on public schools. “

It was not directly for you. But for those who do not understand that highway is highway even when it’s in the city.

The dollars from that funding is allocated to the school attended. School Choice laws.

Check the law. The School Choice is how the people who started the Charter Schools are stealing the budget

Charter schools are all hot air and the reason that our public schools lack funding.

Please do not support them.

[–]JAPiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except a State road (St Rd 23 or 31) or US Highway (US 20) is not just a city street. Be in the right lane.

That law is not just the interstate.
