SCHOOLS: Too many districts

| December 4, 2016 8:00 PM

We see local public schools are wanting to increase taxes again with more school levies. Idaho has 44 counties and 115 public school districts for 1.6 million state population; what a total rip-off to Idaho taxpayers! Having so many public school districts!

I can’t see why such a rip-off is allowed by the state Legislature against all Idaho taxpayers. I hope this information will get people motivated to contact the Idaho Legislature to protest this excess rip-off of our taxes, as we see it one public school district per county should be more than enough to operate and control Idaho public school districts.
