LETTER: Tom Fisher tells what he thinks happened to 5.9 school tax Adair County School 5.9-cent tax what happened? Knifley, Casey Creek activist takes schools, media to task. According to Mr. Mike Harris, Adair County School Board Chairman, the kids of Adair County are the true losers. You know he is right. The kids of Adair County Schools are the losers. They are the losers because the Adair County School Board failed to lead this county's school system in a progress matter. They are losers because the Adair County School Superintendent failed to educate himself and the voters (parents and grandparents) of Adair County about the issues facing the county schools. The Adair County School administrators have failed to manage the schools system funds in a progress matter. Where the voters (parents and grandparents) failed is that we failed to elect qualified people to our school board. What one must remember about Adair County is that the majority of the citizens in Adair County are products of the Adair County School System. What I see is that the voters (citizen, parent, and grandparent) are telling Adair County Schools is that they failed to provide the required education to make it in this world.
Something that the Adair County School Board must have forgot about taxes is that school tax in this county is 53% of county's property tax. Plus schools get money from state and federal governments as part of their income sources, and the school charges fees to student (parents) for activities. The single largest expense for the citizens of Adair County is schools. We have paid to have the schools physical plant maintain to high standards. We have paid to have a first rate schools system.
