The state board of education just slapped the citizens of Middle and Dennis township in the face. After both school budgets were voted down, the state decided to grant these new levies on property owners. Our taxes will go up yet again, while our children receive a subpar education. It's time to abolish the state board of education. It time to consolidate all schools in our county into one district. It's time to tell Trenton to mind it's own business, and we will educate our children with our values and dollars.
