<p>I need to express my frustration with our bleeping school district
Not only did we allow 34 million dollars to * disappear* a few years ago, we still apparently don’t have safety nets in place for taxpayer money.</p>

<p>An entry level home in Seattle will run you at least $500,000 ( if you can find one), we don’t have decent public transportation, but if you move to the suburbs it is called “white flight”, (even though some suburbs have a higher percentage of minorities & more children attending public schools)</p>

<p>Gah-</p>

<p>I really can’t believe it.</p>

<p>This was from 4 years ago</p>

<p>[“The</a> board wasn’t told the truth,” says incumbent Brown, seeking to explain how he and his colleagues could have missed a $35 million shortfall. District staff simply provided wrong budget numbers that appeared to make sense, according to Brown and other board members.](<a href=“http://www.seattleweekly.com/2003-08-20/news/school-board-follies.php]"The”>http://www.seattleweekly.com/2003-08-20/news/school-board-follies.php)</p>

<p>I know we have corruption and incompetence in many areas of government/business, but when our kids are being directly affected- it just hits so much closer to home.

<p>… and closing nearly-empty schools is “racist” in Seattle, too. Pretty funny, especially in reference to what might be the most self-consciously non-racist city in the country.</p>
