April 7, 201016 yr Author Howell Board of Education, I would look your information up before voting, this way you can vote out the incumbents. Especially in the districts that are not doing there jobs. http://www.howell.k12.nj.us/boardofeduc ... aspx?id=31
April 8, 201016 yr Author Who in the right mind will vote for an increase in property tax? did you just ask that? dude they vote that shit in almost every year in most of the districts, the way the question is worded it makes you sound "evil" if you dont vote yes for it. The wording is in favor of tax increase, so the zombies pull the lever for yes.
April 8, 201016 yr Who in the right mind will vote for an increase in property tax? Usually the only people voting are teachers and what not that WANT tax increases....you can bet your ass my whole family will be voting NO this year

April 13, 201016 yr What state, the size of NJ, needs over 500 school districts - some that contain no schools. But rest assured, each one of those districts has a superintendent and at least one, more often multiple, assistant superintendents pulling down six-figure salaries. The problem is they are the ones that control the money, so school programs are cut, teachers salaries are affected and the students are the real losers. The administrators are never going to eliminate their own jobs, but that is what we need to happen. CONSOLIDATION!!!! The system needs a top-down revamping done by someone with no vested interest - but we all know that will never happen. JMHO Adios, Pizza Bob
April 13, 201016 yr I believe there is more then 600 districts? Either way, we should have MAYBE 1 superintendent per county, and 1 principle per school. But really, this is the same crap that goes on for our fire / police / EMS / board of freeholders / board of whatever you can think of / etc. Too much admin!
