> We taxpayers to the ASD who reside in the Kittanning attendance area are being taxed into the abyss. Only to see our money spent by a diminutive minority of advocates of segregation. It is time for the sane rational majority to take control of what is rightfully their own. It is time for the Kittanning attendance area to remove ourselves from the unwell out-of-date idealism of the save MY school at any cost faction before it digresses us to their altitude. By removing ourselves from their sphere of influence, we will be able to leave behind the ill health that is widespread in ASD. We will enable ourselves to join the progressiveness of educating children in the 21st century. We will no longer be separated from the reality of educating kids in real time. We will have the ability to expose our students to the real world, not the world currently being distributed by those in control at the divine ASD. We will no longer teach our children to live in the past, and hate your neighbor. We will no longer be teaching them the having a rival, an enemy, is wholesome and good. We will no longer train them to dislike someone because they live in a neighboring town. It is time to distance ourselves from this disease. It is time to re-commission the Kittanning School District.
> We, in the Kittanning School District will now fund only our Kittanning High School, Kittanning Middle School, and existing Elementary Schools. We will finally, and justifiably, be removed of the undue burden of financing everyone else’s wants and needs throughout the sprawling ASD
> ASD will be responsible for their own schools. As it should be. Dayton and Rural Valley can pay for their own palace. Elderton can retain and remodel their own community school as they see fit, they can also pay their own bill. Ford City can fund their own fantasies of life in the past, as they pay constant homage to the great Ford City High. They can pay for their fetish with their tax dollars, not mine. ASD can be run amuck, as usual, we will not be around to resist.
> The Kittanning School District, will no longer be burdened with subsidizing everyone else’s desires. We will operate one high school, not four. We will use only our Kittanning Middle School and West Hills Elementary. Not the countless buildings we currently fund. We will not need hundreds of Busses consuming millions of tax dollars, since our schools are located within the populated East Franklin and Kittanning communities. We will have taxation WITH representation, as it should be, for the first time in years. We will be free of the perverse idealism of those advocates who have a monopoly on the Armstrong School District. They can fund their own nation. We will be busy getting on with properly operating a progressive, prosperous school system within the Kittanning School District. . We will also have much more money in our pockets as school taxes would be substantially less!
You've only added to the stereotype of the Kittanning people... Arrogant snobs who believe the county lives and dies with them. Look around, your wonderful Market Street is really hopping. Maybe Santa Scahill will bring in Mothman 2 to generate more revenue.
