Thank you Charles. You hit the nail squarely on the head from every angle. Three generations of my family have received excellent educations from ASD. My wife and I have both worked for the district and seen it first-hand  

Vouchers will be the final undoing of our public schools. Many areas could make good use of additional funding. (Pupil Transportation, for instance, does a heck of a job with worn out equipment, and bus drivers are far from overpaid.)

It all boils down to one simple phrase: you only get out of it what you put into it.
