A Savage Example

The Minneapolis Trib has a nightmare story about the Savage School District. The School Board built a brand new school but because voters turned down operational levies the school will not be opening:

From the story:

“Construction workers spent this month finishing up with flooring and stairwells in the brand-new, $16.8 million school. But as thousands of Minnesota students head to school, the already crowded Prior Lake-Savage district isn’t getting ready to open Redtail Ridge. They’re closing it.

When district voters rejected a property tax increase last fall that would have paid to hire teachers and open the school, the school board made good on a threat to mothball the building for at least a year.”
