Calling lawyer today, last I texted with Dan last night I told him that it had been 5 months since I filed (September) and he needed to sign and return the petition. No reply.
Well, in unrelated news, our school district had a levy vote last night. The vote ended in a tie last year, so we lost. 95% of schools in our state use this tax levy to fund educational materials, and we don't have it. Dan was irate last year b/c his parents did not vote...
Meanwhile there have been two separate 10% state budget cuts this year--I know, hard times for everyone...So our district is already talking about staff cuts and I am only on my second year here, so no seniority
Well, found out this morning that the vote failed again. Twice as many voters as last year and we lost by like 300 votes. So no magic funding fairy to help us out...
Dan is apparently super livid about it. He has been texting all morning that he wants to pull the kids out of our district and send them to a private school in Council Bluffs (25 minutes away) since our town is too "white trash" to fund education--his words.
Then he has since texted me how much it costs per year to go there for each child, where they need to go to catch the bus and what time, I guess he is really pissed! I don't like it either but I don't really want my kids on a bus for an hour every day to go to school.
Furthermore I don't have the $7,000 per year I would need to pay for both kids! So good luck with that, Dan...he thinks he is in financial purgatory now...
