ISSUE #3 - CLEVELAND CSD PROPOSED TAX LEVY (ADDITIONAL)

FOR THE TAX LEVY 15008 35.32%

AGAINST THE TAX LEVY 27485 64.68%

There was no chance of it passing anyway. It will not pass in November. The state might as well take over the system now and get it over with.

If you must know or even care, I voted against it.
Not that you need an explanation, but I am an unemployed, full time graduate student with four kids who owns his house (well, the bank lets me think that anyway). None of my children go to the CPS and they never will. In addition, I cannot not afford the additional taxes.

However, none of this matters. There must be a concerted effort made to change the way the system is run. That includes, but is not limited to, opening up the books from the yearly audits, changing the way teachers are paid and realizing that the constitution states the state is responsible for our children’s education (as opposed to extracurricular activities) and must find an equitable way fund the individual systems.
‘Nuff said.
