That's downright stupid. There are flat our fewer resources for MCS. That's not the same as " a GOP House Committee, which cut funding sources to schools" is it ? You are just spewing propaganda and inaccurate politically motivated garbage. Once again, no wonder you work for a University. Cutting property taxes, good or bad idea, did reduce funding sources for schools. That is totally accurate. Encouraging charter schools, allowing easy transfers from school systems, did encourage students to leave Muncie schools, at the least, and reduce funding for troubled school systems. That the state funding formula did recognize some of the "difficult student" issues was good, but NO QUESTION at all that MCS was hurt. We were talking about an MCS problem, that funding problem was an issue. Whether I work for BSU or not doesn't have anything to do with the matter. You don't seem to understand, I think the issue here is that Muncie screwed itself in dozens of ways, this may not be, probably is not, a problem with a good solution. If the state wants to save Muncie, saving MCS is probably part of any solution. These private school initiatives can be good or bad for other reasons, but they hurt Muncie schools. PERIOD. They probably contribute to decline in the city. Scrapping MCS might work to encourage people to leave Muncie, problem solved. Maybe? But without a much different setup for private schooling it won't save the Muncie community. That is the logic behind BSU being involved. If you really believe in the wisdom of these other solutions you should oppose BSU being involved. |

So a "GOP House Committee" has nothing to do with property tax rates in Delaware County, Muncie, or anywhere else in Indiana. You are just full of crap. |

Uhhh, the rate on property is capped by legislative action. Property tax rates therefore have actually declined for many... You must live in rental property to not have noticed this, it's a big deal EVERYWHERE in Indiana. BTW local school control over funding is therefore severely limited and reduced. |

For God's Fucking Sake Muncie has never been anywhere close to the cap and neither have most communities. Besides it's a circuit breaker system where the actual rates can be higher than the cap rate in an emergency. The reason Muncie is in trouble is financial malfeasance and declining property value. Not evil Republican cap limits. You are just clueless. |

No. I now pay 1% on my home. Sorry, I no longer support MCS as I once did.
Some say it's 7 million in revenue now unavailable.

That could be. But $0 won't help for sure.

According to localschooldirectory.com Central high school costs per pupil are approximately $11,000 a year, Yorktown is $5,800, Daleville is $8,500, Delta is $8,200, Cowan is $7,200, but somehow there is a funding problem?

More problems here. That's why I think we're in terminal trouble.
This is s a bankruptcy situation. Just looking at the MCS separately. But, if we don't Muncie is in very big trouble. Mike Hicks has this part down.
So is it worth it to save Muncie? You can't easily split the the two situations easily...

Well they looked at a problem situation statewide with schools in cities, and didn't step up. Plenty of blame to go around on allowing the problem to be created. I agree there. Once it was there, though, you need money to solve the problem or those cities go under. Calling it a local problem and then taking away money doesn't seem to have worked very well. |
