I’m struggling to understand how this link supports the various posts you’ve made in this thread. The article says that the state pulled back subsidies/aid to JC schools as JC property values increased over the last decade. Is there something the JC BOE could have done about this?

Plan ahead. The gravy train from the state was going to end one day.

Let’s play this through: let’s say they anticipated the drop in 2022/2023 state aid perfectly a decade ago. How would that have changed anything? The budget is what it is, what could they have done in 2021 or before to soften the blow? Maybe they could have started gradually raising the school levy to spread the burden across multiple years, but that wouldn’t change the fundamental problem—just the years in which it was paid for.

Fundamental problem is that it costs $30,000 per student. JCBOE needs a forensic audit and maybe even sell off some of their property holdings.
