Not one person disagreed with the 3.9% increase that the Quaker Valley school board voted 8-0 to raise our taxes once again. How could that be? You all must have “build a new high school fever.” Isn’t it enough that the Allegheny County council members raised our county tax by 37%?

When is this going to stop? This year is going to be about worry and exhaustion for most of the residents of this area. How convenient that you stayed within the margin of the state by only .01%.

That is hilarious.

This school board is obviously not thinking of the hardships that they are putting on most of the residents and it will have a domino effect. You didn’t go about this the right way and this tells me that you are mismanaged. Just a reminder, you work for us.
