[QUOTE="inactive, post: 3284609, member: 7488"] I agree with most of your broader points, but I will point out that school board district taxes/bonds are based on the district. The districts are often coterminous with cities and towns out of practicality, but not exclusively.

Random examples from districts with LARGE Tulsa populations: [URL]https://ktul.com/news/local/bond-issue-for-union-public-schools-passes-allowing-forward-progress[/URL] [URL]https://www.kjrh.com/news/local-news/jenks-voters-pass-two-bond-issues-for-14-million-in-improvements[/URL] [/QUOTE]
