To the Editor:
This letter is in response to Mr. Tallon’s letter regarding the Southern Regional School District school tax issue (“School Funding Tricks,” 6/21). Mr. Tallon’s letter contains many of the misconceptions and faulty assumptions that cloud a clear analysis of the facts regarding the situation we are now in – where Island homeowners fund 80 percent of the district, despite only sending 10 percent of the students to Southern Regional.
Mr. Tallon’s reference to the district being a “regional,” not a “town,” district is correct but irrelevant.
