Don’t support C-Falls bond vote  

On the next school board election ballot, the Columbia Falls School Board is asking the voters to approve a $2.5 million bond to repair the roof of the high school. The roof is bad, but what is worse is the gross mismanagement of taxpayer funds that this school board has shown time after time.  

Here is another good reason to not give the school another dime. For all the money that you pay on your taxes for the Columbia Falls schools thinking that our children are being educated, we are producing standards at the high school level that are a dismal failure: 73% failure rate in math, 79% failure in science and a 55% failure rate in reading for the 2021-22 school year. Until they put education at the forefront they should not be rewarded with more of our hard earned money for any reason.
