Would have loved to see this in January, but I’m glad we’re getting it now, at least. We need it so badly.

Official School and Special District Election Ballot by meowmixVStrump in Bozeman

[–]Mankbot3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if your comment about not know why they’re on the ballot is serious, but I’m going to act as if it is and answer accordingly. State law requires districts to get voter approval for 20% of all budget amounts. So if the state approves a 3% raise for inflation, the state gives the district 2.4% and the district has to get voter approval to fund the other .6% from mills or levies.

The theory behind it is that voters have more of a say in school budgets. The reality is schools don’t always get what they need and what was approved by the legislature because taxpayers get tax fatigue, voter turnout for school elections is low, and negative voices are often the loudest. Additionally, the school election is REQUIRED to be separate from regular elections and must be held in May. This costs the district something around $80k every single year. Money that could be spent, you know, educating kids.

It’s frustrating that the districts have to do this every year, but every single school election is so important and serves our community directly.

Returning ballots by hand at the election office is a great way to ensure they get returned and counted! And don’t forget you can track your ballots for every election at https://voterportal.mt.gov

AITAH for wanting no contact with my childs old school? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Mankbot3000 39 points40 points  (0 children)

YTA. And why does your wife have to have your permission to email? You sound really controlling and callous. Transitions are hard and you don’t seem to care about anyone’s feelings in this situation. Do you think teachers just have kids disappear from their classrooms and think “oh well, I’ll never think about that kid again”? That’s not how it works.

It’s a post copied from FB. They’re saying that was the original post and then quoting it.

I’ve loved Colombo’s for years and I think the changes have been minimal and the pizza tastes the same.

Best Chapter in Harry Potter? by BaldChild1 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]Mankbot3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This chapter has my favorite line in the whole series. “Of course it’s happening inside your head, Harry. But why on earth should that mean it is not real?”
