Mountain Home School District Selling Woodworking Class Equipment

Going-Going-GONE!!! It Is YOUR Money.

I would encourage EVERY taxpayer in Mountain Home/School District 193 to visit the Mountain Home School District web page, under the Board tab (on the left side of web page) and see what is being sold by the Mountain Home School District from the former carpentry/woodworking program and what the opening bids will be for this equipment (Disclaimer: a bid is just that and does not indicate what actual sale(s) price may be). IT IS YOUR MONEY! How does that make you feel about another proposed levy? The MHSD REFUSES to sell several parcels of land because they do not want to "take a loss on it due to the down market" but they are willing to lose their butts on valuable, useful, educational equipment. What do YOU think?

Happy viewing and reading! Next MHSD levy meeting is February 9, 2012 at the MH Library at 6:00 p.m. (per date/time announcement at the last meeting). Come one-come all!

Please note (from our local paper under legal ads and the MHSD web page):
