the subject isn't really about books>>it's about waste(again).

How many books could have been purchased with the money raised for the new
fitness center installed at the HS? What good does a fitness center do
after all? (I am being facetious.) Even though I have not benefited from
this facility, directly, but I benefit indirectly by the student
population being healthier.
How many books could have been purchased with the funding for the
referendum materials?
For both questions, the answer is Zero.
The donations for the fitness center and the referendum materials were
likely given with the condition or understanding that they be applied to a
specific area. If the school district wishes to maintain public confidence
it would be a good idea to respect the wishes of donors.
If I send a check to a charity for Pakistan Earthquake Relief and this
charity applies that money to Hurricane Rita Relief my wishes have been
ignored. Take a good guess how many more donations this charity is
receiving from me if that would happen.
The answer is Zero.
The amount of money spent campaigning would not have purchased very many
textbooks. A casual walk into the WSU or Southeast Tech Bookstore will
reveal the high price of text books. Furthermore, this conversation is
counter-productive and the energy should be better spent on ways to
elevate district enrollment levels and not bickering about insignificant
items like campaign materials and suffrage that seem so trivial that the
only logical comparison would be to an individual complaining about the
postage to mail an energy bill, but not the bill.
