School officials justify the bond to keep pace with rising enrollments, aging schools, safety improvements, student programs, and technology. Taxpayers claim that financial mismanagement and poor student performance do not merit more money. “I am being taxed out of my home,” said Rudy Balciunas a 20+ year resident of Clear Lake.
