The school district faces financial obstacles that might not be overcome at the ballot box, where the district has been consistently shot down by voters.

I won't vote for a levy that will raise my property taxes permanantly. With the economy in shambles, we voters don't need an extra burden that will never go away. How is it that some school districts can build new school facilities, but Margaretta can't afford to operate from year to year? How can the district be so broke? Is this due to mismanagement of funding? What's behind the reasoning for this "conversion" levy?
