Not to trivialize this (I am a RSD taxpayer), but for perspective, these potential overpayments, …

Leadership of the upcoming Proposition S—a $38.4 million no-tax rate increase bond issue on the April 2 ballot—was announced at Thursday's Rockwood School District Board of Education meeting. First meetings are set.
Rockwood School District resident Rhonda Costa volunteered to head the Proposition S citizens' committee, which will be a group advocating for passage of a $38.4 million no-tax rate increase bond issue on April 2 ballots.

The Prop S citizens' committee operates independently from the district; its task is to promote …

I'm not part of RS, but I will tell you this, I voted to support all the Bond Issues. Some of these problems were to be fixed when my 16 year old was in Elementary School. Now, the locker room problem at … more ›
