Hebron Dollars & Sense

Located this information through a google search. It was a thread posted on this FORUM in April. It is definitely worth a second read. Next time around we must support individuals who possess the "Attributes of a Good School Board Member" as displayed below taken from the CABE (CT Association of Boards of Education) web-site:

Our issues are similar to issues in other towns. A friend sent this today and it is pretty interesting. For some reason, local school boards consider their budget requests to be the top priority for community resources. How do we remind them that OUR MONEY through our State and Federal tax dollars supports ALL the budgets in town and we all need to work together !!!! The municipal budget, the CIP, our obligation to RHAM and the local HBOE must and should share resources. The HBOE and current superintendent regard grant money as free money ... WRONG... all of us pay taxes and these funds are derived from our tax dollar. There is no FREE MONEY - we have all paid our share into grant funds.

Their school board definitely has a well-deserved label of "us vs them". Hebron is inching closer to this type of relationship too. Read the entire article - Plainville, CT could be substituted with Hebron, CT.
