An overwhelming amount of support for the need to have better schools over lower taxes, but like I have said in the past "Add those bus fees and user fees to your current tax rate and you could be living in a colonial in Middleton in a nice new culdesac with a better school system for the same rate!" But let's take a look at the other poll...Hell this is why our school system has crumbled at it's foundation!! Since the swearing in of Mayor Bonfanti MCAS has dropped, the curriculum has been lost, found, and changed more than a 1 year old's diaper, the school buildings themselves get little or NO attention, and the staffing of the schools have been depleted. Hence the outcome of the approval rating VERY NEGATIVE!
Perhaps enrollment has dropped due to the lack of great leadership and the ability to run a great public school system! Enrollment is down because the word is out that Peabody no-longer takes steps to improve it's School system, they take steps to run it lean! Before you know it, it will be gone!
