That same discaimer would be on a property assessment as, "This is no guarantee this property will sell at the assessed value." Or the disclaimer for realtors when they evaluate your house for sale that what they think your home is worth may not be what you get. In all cases, it could be higher or lower.<BR/><BR/>There are many articles online that state research shows that aproximately 10% of a home's value comes from its proximity to a school.<BR/><BR/>Your attempts to discredit are quite transparent. In a low spending district with our current economy and the problems in Madison, we cannot afford to throw away revenue. When property values drop, taxes drop. Great for taxpayers until the school district realizes their lame brained plan needs money and the BOE has to raise taxes to make up the difference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
