The local folks here are asking that property owners vote themselves a tax increase for "School Safety". It seems like they want 30% of the money to go to "physical safety improvements" and 70% to go towards "Social Services". I'm not sure if increasing "Social Services" will actually help with problems within our schools and make our children safer. I haven't seen any concrete evidence that "Social Services" really helps reduce bullying, reducing truancy or any other problems regarding out-of-control children. Some teachers have said that these problem children come from such terrible and abusive situations, that only "School Social Services" can help. Of course many people will automatically brand me a monster because I am questioning two "untouchable" topics, i.e., "It's for the children!" and "It is about safety!" I only want some accountability on where our taxes are going and how they will be used.
