LTISD Info

Did you read what Susan Tolles said about the districts plan to extract more tribute from those of us who pay taxes?

“With projected deficit funding of approximately $1.8 million, coupled with a steady increase in student enrollment and operating expenses, the board believes asking voters for additional revenue through a tax ratification election is a prudent and fiscally responsible option,” said Susan Tolles, President of the LTISD board.

Poor ole Susan Tolles, she tows the party line all the way to the end. What do facts have to do with anything? Obviously Susan has been sent to “re-education camp” and taught a “more perfect truth.”

Remember, it was Susan who  was found to have been responsible for the district’s violation of student confidentiality.

I sure hope that Susan Tolles remembered to fill out a “Conflict of Interest” form since the school district has done business with “Picture This!” She probably hasn’t, but we’ll find out.

It’s like how Jim Cumming’s daughter, Sarah Cummings, got hired as a teacher in the district. Now we know more of what was written about Jim in the Lake Travis View: “He has grown close to several trustees, but has particularly developed a friendship with Kirk, one he thinks will last a lifetime.”*

Hey Susan, what about the following facts?

²Data Source: LTISD

³Data Source: InflationData.com & U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

Susan, why hasn’t the district been able to “live within their means” all the while you have voted for outrageous increases of our taxes?

Susan, why hasn’t the district been able to obtain an “exemplary” rating for the amount of money the district spends per student?

Susan, you are supposedly an accountant and you of all people should understand the bottom line: Inflation was only 19.9% yet the revenue/student increased by a whopping 86.1% and Rocky’s salary went up over 60%!

Susan, what has been the benefit to the parents and tax payers of our district been with high taxes and such poor management?

Watch now as the party faithful march out to enlighten and educate the peasants on the merits of the tax rollback!
