Question from Facebook user: Do we still have to pay City taxes? Will they be the same?

Superintendent Hook said that we would be able to afford the new schools because our population is on the rise which means more income in the city. He may want to consider hiring a different advisor because the population is not on the rise. In fact we are shrinking so much that we are no longer considered a city. Welcome to the Village of Carlisle.

On another note, Middletown City schools built new schools not too long ago. Now they are in such a financial crisis that they are considering shutting down some schools. Just food for thought!

i have been a self employed for 29 years and I have had to pay retirement, insurance, self employment taxes,own vacations without pay. The taxpayers cannot keep footing the bill for the plush benefits the government workers have. It is time they step up and pay their share too. The big 3 automakers finally figured out they couldn't afford it! Although a little late the day of the big benefits are over people!

I am all for new schools. Lord knows we need new schools. We need lager classrooms that are technology adaptable to the new technological needs of the school. We need cleaner schools the quality of air is dismal inside our ancient buildings. I agree. But my concern is at what cost? Not monetary cost, but academic cost. Right now our state budget is a mess and with HB 153 our public schools look to lose $3.6billion dollars over the next two years. According to the state department Carlisle schools is expected to be at an outstanding deficit of $4million by 2014 and that is without new schools. We are already in the need of a new operating levy just to maintain the schools. It is going to be like pulling teeth to get just that. If we throw a Bond issue on top of that I am afraid that the voters will say no leaving us at risk of a state takeover. If we pass this bond and operating levy then what happens in 6 years when we will need another operating levy? Are the citizens of Carlisle going to be willing to pass another operating levy while they are still paying on the previous one? I would like to say yes, but the statistics say NO. So then what happens? Well first teachers get cut and with SB5 all teachers are at risk. Class sizes get larger and if the operating levy continues to fail then Carlisle and it's beautiful new schools get shut down. What happens to our children? They get bussed to neighboring districts. Think that is impossible? Well take a look at Little Miami Schools. They too needed new schools because they were outgrowing their tired buildings. The taxpayers agreed to a bond to pay for new schools, but since then have failed to pass an operating levy. With Carlisle's history of levies I fear that they will not continue to pass operating levies which will in lower our already C standard academics. Again let me say that I am all for new buildings if we can afford them (we being Carlisle not myself because I too am willing to pay what it takes for my kids), but if a new building means my child’s academics suffer then I am out.

So then my question is if we get new buildings, what is the plan to increase Carlisle’s academics and make us competitive with other schools? Especially when the money runs out.

Those schools are falling down around those poor kids. It's not fair to them and the teachers. I will fully support the levy!! We should all give our kids and the children of our community a nice safe enviroment for them to learn in every day just like we had provided for us when we were in school!

2011-04-07T15:34:29.934-04:00

Unfortunately in a time when many are not receiving raises, raises that keep up with the pace of inflation, or even have jobs, it's a NO vote for our family (2 voters). We feel as though we pay more than enough in property AND income taxes to support the school district. Some might say it would hurt property values? Well, my house, bought in 2003 with down payment, is worth far less than the remaining principal, so it doesn't much matter at this point. I would say try again in about 3-5 years. Who knows, perhaps the increase in income taxes along with increasing property values from an improving economy and housing market will provide the necessary revenue.

Sincerely,
Overtaxed

I can't wait to attend!! I am hoping the discussions will be about a potential new school building. We have the oldest schools in the SWBL, let alone the area. I know many people do not want to see their taxes go up but with three kids in the district, they have my vote!!

To anon- I once felt the way you did. You are a young person just graduating, it sounds like? Well, it feels overwhelming now, but give it time. Years from now, you'll look back, glad you went the route you did. I agree it's tough to pay off college, but study hard and get the right job, and you'd be surprised at how easy it'll be to relieve those large bills!

Ha, I made "too much money" to qualify for FAFSA, yet there's no way I'm going to pay off my college costs. Nothing like being in debt to start my life off, huh? Even though I'm doing things "the right way." The whole thing is a joke. I should just go onto welfare so I don't have to worry about my credit or anything. Maybe instead of welfare they should use that money to help ALL kids pay off college. Biggest myth, there's college help for everyone.

I figured the Carlisle Chamber was bkoke by now. Just ask around about their spending methods and leadership skills that are NOT getting Carlisle's Business Park any new occupants.
Come on Chamber, do something for the community and quit spending bucks on shindigs that only lead to a free meal and a free ride for the chosen few.

Their are guidelines the city has to follow, and meet. You can just build stuff, you have to have to have plans to know where you are going. If you wanna have your opinions heard go to the meetings and speak up.
