LTISD Info

Joe F. Smith at the TexasISD.com communicates to school districts on a daily basis. His December 2, 2009 commentary was directed to school districts and the tax payers are fed up with the wasteful spending of their local school districts.

Funny, but the excessive salaries of overpaid superintendent’s such as Rocky Kirk is number one in the top five issues that tax payers have with school districts.

Note that Joe references gleaned his conclusions from comments to a Houston Chronicle article: “School districts still feeling the squeeze.”

Joe says, among other things:

The list below reflects the top 5 comments, based on the number of times the comment was recommended (agreed with), by those who read the Houston Chronicle article, School districts still feeling the squeeze, which we posted Monday.

1.    Fat superintendent salaries (Recommended Thumbs up 78 – Thumbs down 10)
2.    Illegal aliens attending Texas public schools (Thumbs up 68 – Thumbs down 44)
3.    Why can’t schools live within a budget like taxpayers do? ( Thumbs up 63 – Thumbs down 7)
4.    Football stadiums and administration buildings (Thumbs up 51 – Thumbs down 11)
5.    Incompetent teachers with tenure (Thumbs up 48 – Thumbs down 41)

And the LTISD wonders why they lost the recent tax rollback election?
