West Bend School Board Meeting MONDAY night 7 p.m.

WEST BEND SCHOOL BOARD MEETING

EAST HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY 

7 P.M.

Kathy Zarling will explain the pupil discrepancy in reporting to the DPI for state aid.

Wonder if she'll answer questions about other pupil reporting discrepancies, like...

 Telling the taxpayers there were 7146 students at the public tax levy meeting, but -

reporting to the West Bend News there were only 7028.

REPORTED TO PUBLIC:

REPORTED TO WEST BEND NEWS:

 “The number we submit to the state is based on ‘full-time equivalency’ rather than the actual number of students,” Zarling said. 

    A student in a half-time kindergarten program, for example, is considered .5 fulltime equivalency. 

    The number of students attending the schools, or the actual head count is 7,028.."

AB458 passed last night 48-43

The final vote on Passage of Assembly Bill 458 was 48 to 43 - straight party-line vote with the Democrats voting in lock step with Planned Parenthood's extreme agenda and the Republicans plus Pro-Life Democrat Bob Ziegelbauer voting in support of Wisconsin's teens, parents, school districts, and taxpayers.

Planned Parenthood BUSTED by former Director in Texas

Abby Johnson is taking the leap and exposing PP for what it is:  A Baby-Killing Factory.

"A former director of a Texas Planned Parenthood branch who resigned after she watched an ultrasound-guided abortion told WND the clinic was pushing employees to strive for abortion quotas to boost profits.

"There are definitely client goals," former clinic director Abby Johnson said. "We'd have a goal every month for abortion clients and for family planning clients."

Johnson, 29, said the Bryan, Texas, Planned Parenthood clinic performed surgical abortions every other Saturday, but it began expanding access to abortion to increase earnings.

"One of the ways they were able to up the number of patients that they saw was they started doing the RU-486 chemical abortions all throughout the week," she said."

No excuses for West Bend School Board

Preach it, Brother...

West Bend Daily News/Owen Robinson:

The citizens of West Bend have learned a lot about their school district leadership in this latest budget discussion, and many of the lessons are troubling. 

...

Difficult times call for leadership and the School Board failed to show the leadership that the community needed. Instead, it took the easy route and decided to tax to the max. 

    What is frustrating in this case is that the public did everything right and the School Board still rammed through the maximum tax increase possible. In September the School Board held its annual meeting as required by law. At the time members were advancing a budget proposal that would have levied the maximum tax increase allowed by law. The purpose of the public meeting is for the public to show up, listen to the proposal, and tell their elected School Board members whether or not they support the board's proposal. This year, more than 700 citizens attended the meeting, which is telling considering that the meeting is usually a non-event attended by a few dozen folks. 

    The vote against the levy increase was overwhelming. The vote was only advisory, but the citizens of the district made it perfectly clear to the School Board that they needed to sharpen their pencils, show some leadership, and manage their way through the current economic circumstances without breaking the backs of the taxpayers. The School Board utterly ignored the voters and unanimously decided to increase the levy as much as possible. 

    Beyond that, the district has not been forthcoming with information for the public. The public meeting was officially announced in the legal notices of the newspaper, but School Board President Joe Carlson readily admits that the district did not contact the press to make sure the public was aware of the massive tax increase being proposed until after some bloggers and talk radio exposed the proposal. 

...

 In the end, what have we learned about our School Board? 

    First, members ignore the voters. Despite the overwhelming vote at the yearly meeting, School Board members chose to do exactly what the voters told them not to do. 

    Second, the School Board and the district's administration, whether through incompetence or malfeasance, do not readily give information to the public outside of their public relations channels. 

    Third, in this case the citizens did everything right to tell their elected School Board members that the citizens of the district can't afford a tax increase of this magnitude at this time and every member of the School Board gave the voters the ol' one-finger salute. The taxpayers don't currently have a representative on the School Board and the time to fix that will be in April.
