Ep. 12 | Bonds & Overrides: A Taxpayer's Nightmare

from The Myth of Education Podcast · host The Myth of Education Podcast

Bonds and overrides have kept government schools afloat for decades. If it’s on the ballot, administrators and board members expect taxpayers to comply without scrutiny or question. Maybe it’s time we stop voting to approve these measures.Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed by hosts and guests are their own and do not reflect the views of any public or private person or entity.
