@RossPeterson_ The budget and per pupil spending is similar to Waukee, which using raw budget numbers like you have above equals $23k per student. WSD has passed 2 bonds the last 5 years of 205M and 180M. DMPS has an aging and expensive infrastructure. The bond helps reduce these costs longterm
@RossPeterson_ We can agree on accountability, however, the funds are needed to help DMPS continue to provide our community with a great school system. The district simply does not have the necessary capital to help it thrive into the future. We can fund and hold accountable simultaneously.
@RossPeterson_ The reasons for the poorly ranked schools are complex, nuanced and require thoughtful dialogue. To simply say vote “no” because of lowly ranked schools or the perceived inadequacies of the administration is not a thoughtful analysis. We owe them insightful debate and discourse

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
As a parent, my heart is broken seeing these faces and their ages.
My condolences to their families during this difficult time 🙏🏻
