I don't know if you saw this article in the Courant the other day, but it turns out that the Tolland school system is the seventh most efficient in the state, in terms of how much money it costs us to educate you. That is to say, out of 169 towns, only six spend fewer dollars per pupil! Wow! In fact, here in Tolland, we're able to educate each one of you for about $2,000 less than the state average. And let's not even think of what those wealthy, big-spending towns are shelling out!

I'm not really surprised by how litle we spend on our students, I think it shows in ceratin departments and schools.(ahem, math...)
But if parents are upset, they only have the right to complain if they voted to pass the budgets in years past. Judging by the statistics, most didn't. Last year, less than 25% of our town's nearly 14,000 residents voted.
Also, it seems as if the budget would be better spent hiring people besides a new librarian and a new gym teacher...
