That day is today.
The PCN&R has raised questions in the minds of many about the fundamentals of education and staff salaries. There are also concerns about runaway real estate taxes and the importance of tenure. And the biggest fears may be: Can we sustain this school in this town? At what price? Or how much must we sacrifice our community’s educational goals?
This is a worthwhile conversation that needs to take place if we are to move forward. We are all part of this solution, and we all belong in the dialogue.
Comments are invited here. Let’s start talking.

I will take up the conversation, and it is concerning the general cost of education in New York as contrasted with private sector earnings. My own family earns well above the median income in New York, and would probably be considered rich in the rest of the country. My husband works very long hours in a highly specialized profession in order to provide this. Yet the home we can afford is not worth enough so that our taxes cover the cost of educating even one of our children.
Who is carrying us? And, how can this model be sustainable if even We cannot afford the cost of educating our own children?
