From Racine Exposed:
"Somebody needs to remind RUSD that:
"The Power to Tax Is the Power to Destroy"
- John Marshall (1755 – 1835)
"When does the RUSD School Board get spending and costs under control, instead of going to the same old playbook of demanding more? Why has RUSD put off maintenance and NOT taken care of the legacy infrastructure bequeathed it? Tax monies collected over the decades since RUSD was granted taxing authority were to provide for salaries, benefits AND proper school maintenance, including future investments! When will RUSD stop viewing the Community and it’s People as anything but a Cash Cow to Milk for THEIR financial benefit and demands?"

RUSD - bahaha
ALL RUSD SPENDING NEEDS TO BE APPROVED BY THE PEOPLE OF RACINE NOT JUST THE KNUCLE HEADS ON THE BOARD...!!!!
The people elect the board to make the decisions. Usually voter turn out for those elections is low. The real problem lies in apathy. People don't pay enough attention to who is running for office or how those elected to represent us are voting. Voters simply choose representatives by incumbent name recognition.
RUSD board meetings are open to the public. The rare times those meetings are well attended is when there is a major public change proposed that has media coverage.
Minutes are also printed in the newspaper along with who voted for what. Of course you need a magnifying glass to read the tiny print.
