Things not amazing: people who don't understand the budget revote. I don't think they understand that if this budget does not pass, the future of this town is in serious danger. Everything extra that the school district provides for my little sisters, your little sisters, and every kid born tomorrow will be influenced by the lack of KINDERGARTEN, art club, math club, peer leadership club, every other club, newspapers and literary magazines, marching band, wind ensemble, all other music groups, gifted and talented, TEACHERS, para professionals (yeah, um, both EXTREMELY NECESSARY in EDUCATION), SPORTS (way to go, let's keep obesity on the rise, people!), and so many other things. We have brand new auditoriums, kindergarten classrooms, and marching band uniforms. Clearly they shouldn't be used to educate the 1600 kids in this town.
Give them a future.
And as for the numbers? Voting no will only save you pennies as opposed to voting yes. A majority of the money in our budget is going to pay the teachers, yes, but that was decided YEARS AGO. You cannot do anything about it.
Things even less amazing: people who don't educate themselves about the budget revote. Don't understand how this will truly affect all of us? Should have gone to the meeting tonight. Your misunderstandings may take away my sisters' chances to explore music, art, science. Kids are only young once; let them have an education.
The worst part? The people who truly need to read this probably don't even own computers. Make up for the NO vote--get out there and vote yes on June 22.
But while you're at it, think about Bush's stance on the war in Iraq, stem cell research, and equality for all.
