ASD Sticking It To Taxpayers Again

Well once again it's that time of year when I post my annual complaint. Despite the Allentown School District getting an extra $9.8M in CARES ACT money. Another $26.5M next year they still want another 4.6% more from property owners then last year. Gee ain't that swell. Somebody explain exactly how the $242 I pay a month benefits me in any way at 73 years of age?

ASD OKs proposed budget with maximum tax increase "The final budget is scheduled to be presented in June and is expected to be approved before June 30."

My city tax is only half. It includes garbage, police, fire, street cleaning and repair. Along with a host of benefits which directly or indirectly benefit me. That's not something said for the school district. Lehigh County's tax bill is a bit more then one fourth of ASD's.

It seems ASD is determined to drive every last living senior on fixed incomes out of their homes. The very people who are the least cause of the district's woes. Often when seniors are forced to sell their homes they become rentals. Thus bringing in a fresh crop of kids directly impacting schools that weren't living here prior. This is like a never ending black hole the way it's presently being funded.

The way I see it this district literally can't afford to ignore this never ending downward spiral and those who  point this out. It will continue to get worse and worse no matter how much they wish to ignore the problem. By ignoring complaints like mine they're slowly destroying our local education system.

I don't see how forcing people like me (on fixed incomes) benefits neither they or I. Course every two years or so highly paid education officials simply leave the district after reaping the rewards when the going gets tough. So what the hell do they care what happens after they decide to move on. There will come a breaking point.
