Tell me why all the media decided that Grove City was to carry this entire levy? All but one broadcast was either at GCHS or in the general area. How were they able to use Grove City Christian as a base for the results last night. Rules are in place to separate church and state. I guess only when it suits them. Why is this tax based on property tax? If I live in a $250/th home and will now have to pay an add'l tax of aprox $500/yr and the guys that live close to FHHS live in a $50/th home will not even pay an add'l $100/yr but yet they receive the same. I agree that each child should receive the same in the classroom, but if I pay for the extra's and you don't... If I buy a $50/th car and you want the same car, you don't get it for $10/th just cause you can't afford it. We aren't talking education, we are talking extra's. Grove City should not have to pick up the tab so other areas can reap the benefits. As far as renters teens and all others that should be ineligible to vote, I agree. I hope the rent is raised enough to cover the add'l prop tax to the owner.

<quoted text>THIS IS A FLAT OUT LIE. No coaches (which are current employees in the district who hadn't already left who coached or taught specific groups, clubs, etc last year) were "hired" which in reality was that they had their contracts amended to include coaching/leadership responsibilities until the meeting at Noon yesterday. Second, NO WINTER SPORTS were underway. The OCC in August even announced and had on their website they would make 2 schedules one with SWCS and one without so they would be ready if the levy failed in November. The OCC makes the schedule not the school district. Third, the money was not already in the budget, its called a short term loan which the district can now get until taxes are collected in January to pay it back. You and others like you who DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH OR THE FACTS should try attending a board meeting so you can ask questions and know what is going on instead of assuming and spreading false information. And Yes, I was at the board meeting and there were not many "residents" there either which is normal. Most would rather complain and assume false information which is easier than actually going to any meeting or going to central office and asking a question.

<quoted text> Please don't spout off such crap. First of all, we never cancelled sports. We remained a member of the OHSAA. Thus in terms we kept sports. I was at the board meeting when they voted to keep the membership. Second, it was only reasonable to assume behind the scenes things were happening. I know for a fact they were. It's not a bad thing, it was needed so things could happen quickly. But, you are just like this district. Lie and manipulate. I had enough of it. WE TRULY NEVER CANCELLED SPORTS. YOU DON'T KEEP YOUR MEMBERSHIP TO OHSAA IF YOU CANCEL YOUR SPORTS. WE JUST DECIDED TO USE THE KID'S ONE LAST TIME. I'M RESONALBLY SURE SPORTS WOULD HAVE BEEN PUT BACK IN PLAY EVEN IF THE LEVY WOULD HAVE FAILED.

<quoted text>Your reasonably sure about a lot of incorrect information. First, we never truly canceled sports? So you actually saw the football games, band competitions, etc that students in our district participated in? Amazing that you are the ONLY person in the entire state to see a game played by a school in our district. Second, membership in OHSAA as stated at the board meeting and on OHSAA's website as well as the OCC website was contingent upon passage of a levy THIS YEAR AND REINSTATEMENT OF ATHLETICS. OHSAA was not going to change the date for our district only to pay the membership dues, all districts statewide have to pay those fees by the same deadline regardless of funding or levy issues pending. If the dues were not paid even with the passage of the levy students would not be eligible under OHSAA guidelines to participate in athletic competitions. You should take the time to read the various rules and guidelines which MUST BE FOLLOWED under OCC and OHSAA. This information is available online. As you indicated, Get your facts straight before you open you mouth.

<quoted text>In the SWCS CAFR for the year ended June 2008, on page 23 and 24 it states on the BOE granted all 3 unions a 2.5% raise for the fiscal year 2008 and a 2% raise for fiscal 2009....either everybody else got a raise, but you didn't, or you are lying!! Which is it?

This district has always had its priorities messed up. Sports at the expense of people losing homes. What a joke.SWCS has the worst(in my opinion)record of all surrounding districts(except CPS for obvious reasons),of doing the job it is encharged to do-EDUCATE KIDS! Look at the stats of kids leaving SWCS after 12+ years of education.50% that go on to college require remedial courses,just to bring them to the level that they should've been at when graduated.
We need to demand that no raises be given until a sustainable model is set up.One that requires what every private sector employee is expected to do-PERFORM,at a better than 50% level!

<quoted text>
Many students who graduate from SWCS did not spend 12+ years in the district. In fact, many SWCS schools end the school year with about half of the original students they started the school year with. People move into and out of the district every day. At some schools this means new students enroll nearly every day and other students withdraw almost daily.
Every SWCS graduate passed all five sections of the Ohio Graduation Test so, according to the State of Ohio, SWCS successfully did its job of educating these graduates.

<quoted text> You are a joke. Propaganda at it's finest. Watch the final head count numbers and watch declining enrollment. Then watch declining state money. In fact, watch the district implode right before your eyes. You helped Vin, you and Wise and the rest of the morons. Won't be long and you will be using those green ribbons to hang yourselves.
