" Seneca school district has one of the highest expenditure cost per student in the state and if not the lowest ratio of student per teacher in the state it is close. Seneca should trim the amount of teachers to at least 15 per student instead of 10 and then cut benefits to reasonable amounts to staff before asking for more money. It's starting to be a joke. "

" So we are now complaining that there are too many jobs in the School District. Good one.
So let me get this straight...
NO to fixing Schools
NO to fixing Streets (Bliss Rd)
NO to fixing Stadium
and now
NO to creating Jobs!
But YES to the building a jail where everyone will end up = great logic! "

" fortwith bolgar...pointing fingers at those who may not have children will only anger those if us who no longer have children in schools. I am more than willing to pay a fair tax for good schools. Unfortunately, these school districts are out of control. Where is the efficiency? This is a one way street and that can no longer fly. I honestly do not think a single one of these referendums will pass. Some districts have already taken them off the ballot. Vote No... "

" Sorry there bolgar, YOU FAIL!! Vote NO on the La Crosse School District Referendum!
La Crosse Taxpayer, WisCONsin, Getreal, sum it up perfectly. The school teachers to administration and EVERYONE that works in the district NEEDS to get a pay cut NOW! Look at private businesses layoff here, closing there, what do they do, CUT wages, CUT workers, Cut expenses, just to SURVIVE! Period end of story.
Do you see the big shots in the district cut their wages, he## no. They get increases for crying out loud. So when, (and it won't happen) but when the obviously over paid work force in the La Crosse School District, show the taxpayer they are with us in these tough economic times, VOTE NO November 4th. We have had enough already! "

" Again, you have to cut spending to have more spending. I do have children in school and am voting no. How many teachers actually teach a full day? Compare them to teachers 50 years ago. And how many administrators do you need? I didn't have air conditioning in grade school or high school and I actually survived. My kids wear sweatshirts to school when it's 85 degrees out because it's cold in school. "

" The La Crosse school district currently has a fund balance (ie. reserve fund, savings) of $33 million in taxpayer money collected in previous years.
The district should first dip a little more into their own savings before dipping again into the savings of La Crosse property owners. "

" To the first 4 posters. FAIL!
Both current presidential candidates agree that the educational system in the U.S. is a national security issue. Why? Economy is directly tied to security. No nation in the history of the earth has ever maintained dominence without a strong economy. And guess what. Economy is directly tied to education. And yet, every time our local educational system needs money, you get morons like you who cry and whine over having to provide funding for our community's children to be able to attend decent and safe schools. You people need to look past the fact that you don't currently have children in school (which is glaringly obvious) and remember that this is an issue that affects every citizen in the long run.
Vote YES. "

" What part of NO from last year don't the morons of the school board understand? NO means NO, we voted NO last year we'll vote NO this year, we don't want it, you can't have more, the taxpayers are tapped out, the taxpayers are out of money, the taxpayers are not giving you more money to pi$$ away, the taxpayers are over taxed,Stop wasting our money and start cutting back like the tax payers have had to do. NO means NO, If you need it so bad use some of our 33 million your hording, or did you waste that money on some secret benefits for the few at Hogan? "

" Taxpayer you got that right! We all have to cut back with the cost of everything going up, so why should the government be any different? Our taxes are toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo high in wisCONsin already and lacrosse is one of the worst in taxes in the whole state!! Get rid of the fat and stop asking for every bell and whistle you would like and get back to the basics, we have the highest dropout rate in history so you’re not doing you jobs of teaching the kids or your doing something wrong that the dropout rate is so high!!!!!!!! You have my vote to vote NO. "

" When the lacrosse schools STOP WASTING taxpayers’ money I’ll consider more money!! How much did they spend on the pamphlets trying to con the people to vote their way? Would come out to $50,000.00-$75,000.00 depending on if they sent one to each home in the school district, could that money not have been spent for repairs or upgrading security?? Why are the wages of the people at Hogan admin center so high?? Why are there so many Administrator and helpers at the admin center?? Lacrosse schools have far too many chiefs with far too many hair brain ideas to waste the taxpayers money, get rid of 3/4ths of the dead weight in administration and then and only then ask us for more money!!
VOTE NO MORE MONEY FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD TO WASTE!!! "
