The North East School District, is proposing another tax increase of 3.98 percent. This follows increases the previous three years of 3.83, 3.82 and 3.94 percent.
With a commitment to woke policies, DEI and safe spaces along with declining student enrollment and constant tax increases, perhaps the taxpayers of North East should just say no. Perhaps, also, parents of school age children should seriously consider alternatives instead of sending them to the district’s schools.
North East could do better and North East deserves better, but with the current school administration it seems unlikely we’ll get better. As predicted, all we can be sure to get is higher cost.
Is this what the taxpayers, voters and parents of school children in North East want?

I think the school should receive increases/decreases based on gpa performance

This has become an addiction simply because they can. They’ll drop it down by 1% like they do every year and act like they done us a favor. This will continue until our legislators step in and put a stop to it.

I don’t think they need it due to wasteful spending on an arch we don’t need In this tough times our economy is uncertain and cut to school funding it’s money that could be spent better not to make the school board to look good They need to rein in their spending

The school district must get rid of excess spending! We the taxpayers can hardly make ends meet now! Do we still have 47% of our students at poverty level, needing reduced rate or free lunches? Thank you in advance for your attention and reply.

There is no time like the present to show up at a board mtg and voice concerns and frustrations!! Please go tomorrow night!! If everyone commenting on Facebook would show up at this mtg maybe the board would feel more compelled to dig into expenditures. It’s the same few going all the time asking the hard questions.
