[Vision2020] MSD financial condition

Greetings Visionaires -

It was previously stated that the current school budget is at 170% of the 
1987/1988 budget.  Allowing 5% for inflation over that 15-year period and you 
will find that 170% is extremely low.  It should be over 200% of the 1987/1988 
budget based on an incremental increase of 5% each year for 15 years.

Based on 5% inflation, $1,000 in 1987/1988 is comparable to $2,078.93 now.

No wonder the school district is suffering.  Thanks, Mr. Courtney.  I am 
definitely voting in favor of the next levy.  Sounds like they can use the help.
