re: Livingston Parish 1% tax for teacher raises fails to pass

Per the Parish district calendar, Teachers work from the first week of August through the end of May. They aren’t simple 7-8 hour days. 6:30am -4:30pm is more accurate and then many still have papers/tests to grade at home. Lesson planning eats into your schedule as well. Pretty much every school goads you into being involved in extracurricular activities, so that leads to more time on campus. Teaching is an art and it takes a special personality to be good at it. These people work their asses off and deal with tons of behavioral issues.
It’s a very basic concept that we should be investing as much as possible into educating our children, so our society in general can benefit long term. But somehow 1% is , too much? Sad and pathetic.

I have no dog in this fight, but why can't the parish re-balance their budget to provide this 1%?
Never in my life will I vote in favor of a tax. Ever. Government officials should balance their budgets just like the working class has to.

We invest enough. We need to get better parents here in the US

You left out the additional 5 weeks or so they are off during this time frame....

1% is a lot when you are already being taxed into poverty. How about the people in charge of the tax revenue and where it goes be a little more efficient with what they are already getting?
With that being said, no more taxes, I will always vote no.
