To the editor:

I am writing in regard to the good possibility of a 10 percent increase in the property tax rate this year. This is a huge increase. At this rate, our taxes will double in 10 years. Our paychecks certainly won't.

This is unacceptable. Why aren't contracts with school administrators and teachers being kept down? I find so much waste in the school system. Why should there be an assistant principal in every school? The principal of each school isn't capable of doing their job? They need assistance? You could save more than $600,000 by eliminating this position, which is not needed.

Why are administrative salaries so high? You have taxpayers only making about $19,000 versus administrators making for than $100,000. It's time to stop giving out big raises to people who are already paid enough.

I see a lot of money wasted in the school district. It's time to cut a lot of positions not needed to save us strapped taxpayers.
