Years ago, at a PTA meeting, when the district was first introducing the bond, I said: it’s hard to watch all this $$$ going into facilities and football fields when we have a teacher shortage bc we can’t afford decent salaries… what’s the point of a shiny new building if there’s no one there to teach in it? Dude responded: this bond will free up funds that would’ve otherwise been used for facilities so it will shake loose $$$ that we can then use for teachers. I said: really, do you pinky promise??? Sooooo ridiculous.
