Levy: ‘Our kids need to have access to same resources’
continued from page A-1
For voters without kids, Rosenbach
noted that children are the future of
the community and that we need to
support them.
“The schools are the center of the
community and our children are the
future of the community and if we have
a well-educated populous, then that is
good for the health of our community
long term,” Rosenbach said. “That
means our kids need to have access to
the same resources that kids across the
state do.”
The bond and levy total equates to
$2.40 per $1,000 assessed property
value, which is the second lowest total

The McCleary decision from the
state Supreme Court reaffirmed
the state’s obligation .to fund basic
education. According to Rosenbach,
the decision redefined what basic
education is and it doesn’t pay for all
the staff needed to run a district, using
some old staffing formulas to calculate
how many employees are needed for
basic education.
“Those staffing formulas would
say that in a district our size, with
six-plus buildings and all the fields
that we have, that we only need three
custodians,” Rosenbach said. “That’s
just not practicable. We have to staff at
price.
the level that provides for the safety and
security of our staff and our students
and our buildings and that provides us
to have learning environments that are
effective for students and so we have to
staff beyond what the state pays for.”
There is a plan for if the levy
doesn’t pass. Rosenbach said
last time, the district cut almost
$2 million.
“We will have to take deep cuts
again if that’s the case,” Rosenbach
said. “We might have to look at things
like what activities we can offer for
students. We might have to look at
transportation and whether we can
do that. Although we get separate
funding for transportation it doesn’t
obligation.
cover the full cost of transportation in
a district like ours where the streets
,don’t all go on a grid like they do in
a city. So we might have to tighten
up some of those resources. There’s a
lot that we’ve looked at that if we do
that process again, we do that in open
process within the district with our
employees and then with the board
and making sure that everybody
knows what’s going on as we make
those decisions.”
Rosenbach said she’s hopeful that
the levy will pass Nov. 2.
“Given the state of our country right
now, you’ve got to be a little bit nervous
at least, but we’re hopeful,” Rosenbach
said.
