[Vision2020] School Levy Unfair to Poorer Students

[Tom Hansen]

You're right, Dan.

 

Paradise Creek regional School is part of the Moscow School District.

I guess then that we can count on Donovan Arnold to campaign for passage of
the levy, right?

I believe that the current school levy funding ignoring vocational students
needs is highly discriminatory. If you don't agree me, perhaps these
statistics will change your mind. 

 

Who in your opinion needs more support from the community?:

 


Paradise Creek Regional Alt School


Rank #102

Total Students(2005 - 2006*): 32
Fulltime teachers: 1.5
Student/Teacher Ratio: 21.3

Am. Indian/Alaska Native: 1 ( 3 %)

OR


Moscow Senior High School


Ranks 11th in state 

 

Total Students(2005 - 2006*): 603
Fulltime teachers: 34.5
Student/Teacher Ratio: 17.5
Eligible for discounted/free lunch: 102 ( 17 %)

 

Am. Indian/Alaska Native: 10 ( 2 %)
Asian/Pacific Islander: 16 ( 3 %)
Hispanic: 18 ( 3 %)
African American: 10 ( 2 %)

Unspecified: 0 ( 0 %)

 

It seems like it is a common pattern to better fund those with the greatest
advantage to began with. Why is it too much to ask that the MSD promise to
allocate more funding so the kids that cannot afford lunch get the same
opportunities in a public education system as kids that can afford to buy
lunch everyday?

 

Best,

 

Donovan
