SCS Debt Cost Up 10% in New Budget Contrary to what most school boards believe, and contrary to what the state pays for, it is not bricks and bond issues that improve the quality of education. Good teachers are what make good schools. The cost of the repaying the loans for the building projects is budgeted to increase more than 10 percent next year, thanks in part to all the new space we've added in the last few years. Five Percent Tax Increase JUST VOTE NO! Tell Them to Mothball 10 Percent of the Buildings Time to Mothball 10% of SCS Building Space The energy crunch has just begun. Serious steps must be taken now to reduce Schoharie Central School's energy costs. The building debt cost is going up $167,049 next year, to $1.7 million. That's a BIG mortgage payment. We are stuck with the 10 percent increase for the unnecessary additional space, but we do not have to heat it. Let's mothball 10 percent of the space we heat. Seal the doors and windows and drain the pipes. Don't accept the easy excuse "we can't do it." Real leaders solve problems and make things happen. As the energy situation get's worse, the alternatives are going to be cut the educational program, hike the taxes or reduce energy use. |
