I voted at Kakiat. my card and the card of Mrs. 72 were not in the book as it was for many other long term voters in the district. They found us in the auxiliary books and we voted.
for all those that say it was us against them – the budget was voted down by a much larger vote than the candidate tally meaning that even the public school people realize something is wrong with a $200M budget for 7,500 public school kids and a few bones for the private School kids.
Additionally people should not confuse the schooling that is paid for children with developmental disabilities as money going to the private school sector – these children have a right under the education laws to a public school education and should be calculated into the public school enrollment. Some go to public schools within ERCSD and others are transported to other districts that can best service the individual and still others go to private institutions – each child deserves the best service that they can receive.
