Is the school tax increase justified?

What I would like to know as a taxpayer is, did the school boards of Avonworth and Northgate look at all options before taking the easy way out and try to raise taxes?

What happens later this year when the gaming revenue gets handed out? They are not going to lower taxes.

So I guess before we just raise taxes the school boards should look at all options and make sure not to gouge the taxpayers. Between sewer rate increases, higher school taxes, and new county assessments, when will the taxpayers catch a break?
