I'm work in Coleraine, Minnesota which is having a school referendum vote this month (May). Folks for the referendum say that if we don't pass it, the school (graduating classes of around 80-100 students per year) will have to dissolve or be combined with another. The folks who don't want the referendum say to vote no and have the school administration become more fiscally responsible. Here's my question: What does fiscal responsibility mean regarding school district referendums? Is it operating with a balanced budget? Operating with a small surplus for a "rainy day" fund? Allowing a small deficit in slow economic times? It seems to me that the phrase "fiscal responsibility" means different things to different people. I am interested in feedback regarding this issue. Thanks for your time. Hello. I’m work in Coleraine, Minnesota which is having a school referendum vote this month (May).

Doing something over and over and expecting to get different results is the definition of schizophrenia. If adults would just quit handing over their children to this bureaucracy and take educational matters into their OWN hands, it would collapse. Just because you don't have to spend any money, does not make it free either. Children are not commodities. They are the future and based on what we're seeing, the future is not too bright. We will end up paying for this waste of time and money. Government education is a failed system.
