Send the illegal kids back to where ever they came from... problem solved...no crowded classrooms now.

I am relieved that this ballot question did not pass. It it is quite obvious that the monies generated from this new bond would have ended up being used for other purposes. CCSD might have to close old schools? So what? Many districts across the nation do that and we have more schools and classrooms than needed right now. CCSD might have to go back to a year-round schedule? Just two years ago,the Board put our schools on a traditional 9-month calendar to SAVE money! How can they now justify spending more money to go back to year-round? I think the Board will be doing things just to upset us and bully is into passing a bond next time. Balance our budget. Live within your means. Classrooms should not feel this pinch. Sahara Ave employees should be the ones taking the cuts.

yeah its funny how the district is "out of money' needed for repairs and now to make up for their mishandling this cash, there gonna cut programs? close down schools? tough choices ?? boo hoo you greedy asses!! why is it when they screw up and try to fix their stupidity they come back on the tax payers they screw over students they screw over teachers.. they would have the funds if they cut "their " own b.s. spendings reduce down their outrages saleries!! how is it that they get paid more than the teachers that teach our children?? how is it that these asses make more for doing nothing but take away from education line their pockets get paid for everything for doing nothing but taking away from our future?? i dont understand the logic or the politics in this. something needs to be done here and now changes need to be made in our school district a "cleaning house effect" so to speak before it gets even more worse and our future wont have a education they so well deserve..

Ms. Wright is doing it wrong. If a bond measure was passed in 1998 and extended for 4 years, and now those funds are gone, money was transferred else where. When a measure is passed for s specific project, all funds should be directed to that project, money should not be transferred to pay and benefits or other line items of the districts budget. This is a practice of every level of government, transfer of funds. For the district to hit homeowners only was wrong from the start, many homeowners are seniors on a fix income and do not even have children that utilize schools in their district. Its clear that the district and its commission has no idea of how to manage funds or generate funds. If the district would have tried to raise the sale tax .05%, I would have voted yes, because it now involves every citizen in the county. As a homeowners, I just got my property tax reduce, why in the world would I want to increase it to repair schools, when this should have been an ongoing task year to year. The schools shown have been neglected for years, and that is a problem of the district not homeowners.

This is just more b@#$#@!! reasons for the school district to cover up thier stupidity on handling funds provided to them..they keep building all these fancy schools some even next to each other that dont even have maximum enrollment..ive seen several elementary schools that were next door to each other that had wasted space like for example one school had k to 2nd then the other next door 3rd - 5th when both were huge enough to go to k- 6th !! each !! and they were renovating one again ! new paint etc..but yet here thier whining about having "no money"!!maybe if they would cut their spending in their "offices and their luxuries, instead of in the schools and staff they would have the needed funds. im so pissed off with the school district and their lazy selfish butts! they need to go in and "clean house" in the district and put competant and caring people who are their for the kids and their education and their needs not making cuts to kids programs and learning skills... whats next? no more sports? no more clubs? how about lunch? how about charging parents for each class / like "rent"?? thats probably the next cuts and the next thing that will happen.. sorry for ranting but enough is enough!! when i went to school we had so many things in education we went k- 6th then 7th- 9th then 10th to 12th we had music art auto shop wood metal printing we had a choice in 10th one semester either p e or drivers ed we had all kinds of sports we had books etc.. i cant believe how so much has been taken from students because of the selfish and ignorant people on the board of education.. even some of the "principles and their greed' i had a friend who worked for the schools and cleaned them one high school had over 245 computers and about 60 flat screen tvs sitting in a room that the students never for the 3yrs she worked thier ever used and tvs?? wow flat screen only 3 were used. but amazinly started to slowly disapeer but the $ for all these ?? hmmm ? but need scool repairs.

This bond issue was the easy way out for admin. the voters were too smart to fall for this nonsense. There are ways to do this but requires fiscal discipline and not emotional arguments. The Bus system can go. If buses are needed, then give students bus passes for the public system like other cities do. Now, the elephant in the room; admin salaries. How about admin salaries become in parity with teachers? Why do people who sit in offices make more than the people teaching our children? It's just silly. Roll back admin salaries to the levels we pay teachers. Admin offers no greater value than a teacher in a classroom, yet taxpayers pay admin twice as much and more. It's time for the politicians to get serious and revamp the entire structure of the schools.

$670 million for 42 schools, for REPAIRS; that's a hair under $16 million PER SCHOOL, for REPAIRS?

how many schools could be closed down if the government seriously dealt with the illegal alien situation? teachers union doesn't want it because it means less teachers, Democrats don't want it because they need this constituency to maintain power leaving the taxpayer footing the bill once again.

They can learn to live with in their budjet just like we have to do..We have no say in all the freaken utility companies raising rates everytime they turn around but By God we do with Bonds...Sure Wright says just tax the people for more money..I do not feel sorry for the schools..So be it if they have to close a few schools but what you bet that will never happen...was just a scare tactic to try snd get the bond passed

I have on a number of occasions sugested that the district stop bussing high school students. There are many ways students can get to school, including RTA, car pooling, riding bikes and good old fashion and healthy walking. The saving would be sufficent to over come the loss of bond revenue,
