I would like to share the best rules that place ignorance at the most unsuspected limits. I’m
positive you’ll recognize someone close to you who appears to be a true professional but who, in reality, isn’t anything more than an unqualified beginner. These are, in my opinion the most important rules:

1. “Blame others”: whatever happens, there will always be someone who can be blamed for things that go wrong, however much responsibility, or lack of, they have. In the slang of useless people, this rule is called “passing the buck” or saying “the dog ate my work“.

2. “Steal and use the achievements of others”: which is essential for getting to the top, whilst those at the bottom never stop complaining about our incompetence. In the slang of the useless, this is called “taking all the credit“.

3. “Deny having done anything”: even though you’ve been caught on film committing the worst possible crime, deny it all. It could always be thought that it’s a complex plot created by your worst enemy to question your honesty.

4. “Don’t face up to things and avoid making statements”: never try to defend yourself if you’ve done something bad. You will be accused of things that you hadn’t even thought of. It’s better to avoid making statements and mention a brief: “I haven’t done anything, this is a plot against my honesty and good name”.

5. “Look for false witnesses to back up the lie”: there is always an absent-minded friend, one of those who’s dying to be at your side, who will be willing to state anything, and back up our tale. It’s important to have some to hand.

6. “Get others to make statements for you”: if there is no other alternative, and rule 4 can’t be applied, it’s much better to get others to do it for you. In addition to the witnesses from the previous rule, try to get people who are fairly simple to make statements for you; they’ll end up boring everyone to death.

7. “Get a lawyer to make statements for you”: once the previous point has been exhausted, it’s best to get a lawyer to respond with excuses and contradictions.

8. “Invent a Saintly role”: if ultimately we have to say something, it’s important to have created a story that elevates us to the level of Holy Spirit and makes everyone believe that under no circumstances would we be capable of such acts.

9. “Throw stones at the enemy”: someone wants to back us into a corner? However saintly they are, they will always have a dark side. Look for it and hit them hard until no doubt remains that the person is worse than the devil.

10. “Invent a conspiracy”: if someone has backed us into a corner, and we haven’t been able to take them down, there is no other alternative than to plot a conspiracy, using a smoke screen. The most common stories are those that involve the abuse or harassment of women, because they always manage to attract nonsensical parrots.

3318.054 Lapse of classroom facilities project due to failure of voters to approve ballot measures.

(A) If conditional approval of a city, exempted village, or local school district's project lapses as provided in section 3318.05 of the Revised Code, or if conditional approval of a joint vocational school district's project lapses as provided in division (D) of section 3318.41 of the Revised Code, because the district's electors have not approved the ballot measures necessary to generate the district's portion of the basic project cost, and if the district board desires to seek a new conditional approval of the project, the district board shall request that the Ohio school facilities commission set the scope, basic project cost, and school district portion of the basic project cost prior to resubmitting the ballot measures to the electors. To do so, the commission shall use the district's current assessed tax valuation and the district's percentile for the prior fiscal year.

The project scope and basic costs established under this division shall be valid for one year from the date the commission approves them.

(B) Upon the commission's approval under division (A) of this section, the district board may submit the ballot measures to the district's electors for approval of the project based on the new project scope and estimated costs. Upon electoral approval of those measures, the district shall be given first priority for project funding as such funds become available.

(C) When the commission determines that funds are available for the district's project, the commission shall do all of the following:

(1) Determine the school district portion of the basic project cost under section 3318.032 of the Revised Code, in the case of a city, exempted village, or local school district, or under section 3318.42 of the Revised Code, in the case of a joint vocational school district;

DeRolph v. State was a landmark case in Ohio constitutional law in which the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that the state's method for funding public education was unconstitutional. Handed down on March 24, 1997, the 4-3 opinion said that the state funding system "fails to provide for a thorough and efficient system of common schools" as required by the Ohio Constitution and directed the state to find a remedy. The court would look at the case several times over the next 12 years before relinquishing jurisdiction, though the underlying problems with the school funding system were never fully solved.

research in sales tax & income tax option for equality in public school funding. 

Overview

First the schools would have to quit operating in the mindset that they have to spend their entire budget each year that is raised from fund raising.

Second each school district would have to have a general fund trust for surplus for the purpose of renovation of any type or educational improvements.

Third the state would fund all 615 school districts equally so they had a common thread as the supreme court ruling ask for . For this they might use the cost per student locally plus a % of the share of funds raised by the state as to allow savings for future development of the district. Over time all districts would have significant savings and could with out bonds, levys , or property tax improve what ever they could agree upon as a school board that is in compliance with state regulators.

Funding

If the state would increase by 3 % sales tax and income tax to include corporate income tax the numbers are substantial.

In 2012 ohio collected $25,924,024,000.00  tax data from

                                     http://www.governing.com/gov-data/state-tax-revenue-data.html

add 3 % and you have  additional $777,720,720.00

divide that by 615 school districts’ and each district gets $43,417,171.08

subtract yearly operating cost and start the district trust fund for physical facility improvement and other deemed important developments in education.

While my arithmetic was done with a simple calculator and one could say I raised it to much, you can see that with some thought the state economist and bookkeepers could help legislators come up with a algorithm that would provide for schools to have the resources needed with out unfair taxing of property owners private or commercial. Since land tax funding of public education has been deemed unconstitutional .(DeRolph v. State a landmark case in Ohio constitutional law) a system that reflects the above specifications in one way or another would solve the problem.  Land tax funding of public schools would be abolished. The tax would be spread over the entire population more equally.

Yes we would still have to pay, however with schools saving for future generations threw their own state regulated trust funds it would bring a new dynamic to the table where education was the focus not the budget. The state allows state funded retirement funds for their state funded employees. This is a propagating account with the purpose of distribution to a set goal. What I suggest is similar in nature for our public school institutions.

chmoore1  you have asked What can we do to fix the schools real estate property. I posted the above with no answer from you so I can tell you are truly not interested in fixing the problem. since the propagation of the current system is unconstitutional  you would still at this point prefer to violate constitutional law.  These facts cannot be negated since you continue to post on this blog with the inability to compromise and be constitutionally legal.

its your duty as well as the governments constitutional duty to “provide for a thorough and efficient system of common schools" common denotes that the school in Indian hills should be a carbon copy of the school in middletown. They are not because people like you and the lobby you represent continue to violate our constitutional freedoms by propagating a illegal form of funding schools.

please don't hesitate to tell me your opinion as
