Worst School In America (D91 School Bond)

- Опубліковано 27 жов 2022
- Vote ‘YES’ for the D91 School Bond! Growing up in Idaho Falls, I know what it’s like to go to school in this community, and the different school bonds that have been proposed. This certain bond caught me off-guard at first, making me feel like we would unnecessarily increase taxes to our community that is already struggling in this current economy. However, as I dived into the details of the bond, I realized that this bond won’t be a hardship, but rather a blessing for our future generations! In this video, I tour through the current Idaho Falls High school, which is in desperate need of an upgrade. Watch the full video to see why you should vote yes on this bond, or if you’re not from Idaho Falls, why you should be involved in your local community!

Dude... Are you sure..? I'm pretty sure you can find a worst school somewhere in Detroit, Chicago, or in Baltimore... Maybe the worst school in Idaho... But trust me... I was born and raised in one of the worst neighborhoods in Los Angeles and our high school there was worse than that school by levels of magnitude... Not degrees...
lol LA is LA nothing compares to it
He's a YT of course what he is saying is an exaggeration but it's still a good video.
If you move, don't ruin other states.
I was really looking for something to change my mind. I was shocked the video lacked anything substantial. So the basement is used for storage and bullets have lead?. There’s no question occupancy is high and maintenance is lousy. Instead of spending money on sports stadiums they should fix a few things.
It's too bad they didn't show you the bathroom stall with two toilets in it
Exactly. One of IFs true gems
I am pretty libertarian, but I can be convinced to spend on school... but there better be some extremly open books, I wanna see where every penny goes.... sorry but in NY they spend some crazy $$ per kid and the education and buildings are garbage
The school is an absolute shit hole and needs to be replaced. My four years of high school were spent at school going through a six-year renovation and it was a mess. Renovation won’t give you the desired outcome, will take longer and probably end up costing more. Do the right things for a change Idaho Falls!
I am a Real Estate investor and a High School teacher in Cedar City, UT. When our school tried to pass a 90 million bond a few years ago I was against it. The main reason was due to our district last lack of planning and not letting the community in on where the money was going. Our main high school is similar to Idaho Falls High there being build in the 50-60s and just having add ins after add ins to make it work. I feel like if the District is willing to do their part on the due diligence and break it down to how exactly they plan on using this money, I would agree with you. The value it will add to your community will put way the cost. Also a side note if the community doesn’t pass the bond they city can always just raise the property tax any with out a community vote so they will get the money one way or another. Good luck up there.
Exactly!---They want the mahogany desks & district office pay increases first! To actually be transparent, and publish the "Spending Priorities" list so you know all the stupid crap large bureaucracies like to waste money on. The last thing they do is spend money on kids or teacher salaries...Why?--because it's an easy sell for bond/tax increases. Seen it too many times.
Heck, I'm aware of a similar situation in Crown Point, IN...instead of selling the old buildings, they razed the perfectly good buildings to build their "school for the future". What a waste. People were pissed.
In Idaho the money can only be spent on what is listed in the bond. So unless you want to know exactly how many outlets are put in and what type they’ve let us know how the money will be spent. As for the city raising taxes independently to fund the school that also is not a legal option in Idaho. Here the school district is a separate entity from the city. Also state law only allows for funding for new schools to come from local bonds.
Following your page from Virginia. Excellent video. Great information. People don’t know what they don’t know. Thanks for sharing…
You’ve obviously never seen a school in Detroit, Saginaw, or Flint…
989
New school, yes. 110+ million to do it???? No. Per square foot this bond will pay more than a new highschool than in NYC or ANYWHERE in the county. I don’t believe the school district got competitive quotes and someone is getting rich off this bill, and it sure isn’t the students. Per person in district 91 the bond is over $2500 per man woman and child, BEFORE interest!!!!
the dudes videos you are consuming is going to get rich of it obviously why he is shilling it on his channel
I grew up in If and I agree with you I had friends from that chill growing up and later on friends that taught there and I’ve never heard a good thing plus driving through that area during school days even outside if there’s an emergency the congestion doesn’t just end when you’re outside through the doors you have to get quite aware away from the school before the crowd could dissipate
Lolz if the nation runs out of diesel there's no way the bond makes a difference anyway. Equally something they failed to mention... IFHS is the local bomb shelter. With Russia flaunting nukes perhaps a bomb shelter is the safest place for the kids? The simple truth of the situation is that the city of Idaho Falls itself isn't capable of housing many more people without a complete rework of its core infrastructure. Sewer is nearly maxed as is. Roads are absolutely bogged down. Our power plants are strained. The Civic Auditorium was built and donated by the LDS church to IFHS. So why is it the possession of the auditorium in the hands of the city. D91 is notorious for screwing the people. And they have been trying to pass bonds since they squandered the first one. Each time it gets more and more elaborate and expensive. Their biggest problem thus far has been that the people here can do math and don't like beggars who misappropriate funds. Case and point that shiny new Astro turf field that they just put in the stadium behind IFHS. Only to then propose that the school not be used for a high school and that they are building a new one with a better stadium...? Seems like all that money would have been better spent on, oh I don't know, maintaining their buildings. I'm kind of surprised how uneducated these guys are in this video. It's the little things like the fleet of Tahoe's for the admins, the astroturf field, the closure of an elementary school housing 400 students for use as an alternative high school housing 150, and the closure of a jr. high school housing 600 or more for a selective academy for less than 300 driving 9th grade into IFHS... I could continue. And I'm sure they have colorful and well versed excuses for all of these habits of theirs. In the end they dug this hole and now want money to fill it so they can climb out. I think they should perhaps put their shovels to work. Until they earn my trust they can't have my money.
I voted NO for the same reasons. That school looks amazing, I wish I could've gone there! I'm a transplant to the area. Who is responsible for the school not being maintained over the past 70 years? They would love it if WE volunteered to cover for THEIR mismanagement!
I respect these guy's opinions, but I think that it would be a different story if they kept their same attitude from the video of their "worst tenant ever" situation. They came back to an abused property and weren't happy about having to pay for it. They still did though! The school district doesn't want to take responsibility and wants to pass it on to the elderly of our neighborhoods, the impoverished who bought their homes for $50-70,000 and have had their taxes jacked up to triple what they used to be, and the every level landlords who are trying to get their feet wet by renovating the dilapidated properties in this area. Don't rob from the poor! If these millionaires just volunteered to give to the cause then let them.
Sorry to say it but they haven't earned the trust that they will do what they promise with the funds so we all shot it down.
Current Idaho Falls renter and soon to be homeowner in D91. You ultimately will not pay this cost. This will likely be passed on to your Renter. They are also factoring in the hometowns exemption under that $19 a month. Not to mention they are only saying it's that much extra due to the fact that a bond just got paid off. So it's only 19 extra after that. (Unless your a renter then it as well be $50). Not to mention like you said it will raise the value of properties in the area so they can tax you at a high valuation as well. No thanks from me.
The need is real like it was in D93. But D93 abused the voters and built taj mahal of a school. Thunder Ridge is way overkill. I will not be abused in that same way again. Come to the table with a 50-80 Million dollar bond and I'll vote yes.
Sorry for killing the audio when you guys were downstairs in the large furnace area in between the garage and the cafeteria I was running dish trays in so they could start cleaning
Watch chandler secretly vote no
This is a great video. I work in the same area as this school and would love to see more money and resources put into it. The area is an older part of town and is a little run down. A newer school will help bring more people in making the area a nicer place to live.
Hello, Im new into getting into owning some property's to rent out. But I need more studding. I was wondering could you give me some good books to read to help me educate myself more?
I loved teaching here for 32 years and yes it is time for the new IFHS to be built. Numerous renovations have been able to put this decision off for too long. Vote yes
Now the worst school in Skyline
And you expect the project to be on budget? Govt project routinely run over budget. Why not split this bond up into what could get done in the next 1-2 years and then show the tax payers the result before getting any funding for the next 1-2 years?
Yes this would be a better approach. I was told by a district representative that they might just do this with the monetary scope and time scope of this project. I asked if they would consider withdrawing this bond and doing it that way and they said no, we feel confident that this bond will pass as it is. SO, see, they are not willing to work on it with the public at all.
They’ve worked with the public on this extensively. They did do the last two times as well. They tried separating out aspects the second time. Now we’re at a point where we need a new high school and a couple new elementary schools and major renovations at skyline. It’s more appropriate to put up a single bond to cover the immediate needs at this time.
I talked personally with this particular principal at one of the district bond meetings for the public. First of all I asked him several economic questions about the bond, how things would be paid for, how increasing interest rates would affect the bond, and what increasing building costs would do to builders that would contract for building under this bond and he didn't know a single thing about what I was talking about. He referred me to superintendent SHank and a female representative who I posed the same questions to and both of them could not answer a single question that I asked. If leading district personnel know nothing about how this bond will really work then who is in control of the 250 million and interest that will get paid. What isn't talked about is the effect of vastly increased property values for 2022 sent out by the county assessor will have on property taxes, how this bond will adversely affect people on fixed incomes, rental property rents(don't think for a second that that dude won't pass on his increased property taxes onto his renters) and businesses that are renting properties. If the district would be more transparent and work with the community to find ways to cut costs then maybe this could be worked out.
If you were asking the principal of the high school about bond expenses then that tells me already you’ve done your research in the wrong places
@@ChandlerDavidSmith Well shank didnt have any better replies so then explain to me who I should have asked. Or even better, why don'[t you just break down the economics of building on this level. Give me builder costs including their interest they will pay for building materials, how the bonds will be paid out. Better yet give me a signed affadavit by you that says that you will not raise anybody's rents because of what your taxable values will go up But first I want you since you know so much to explain to me all the intricacies of school bonds, and include what happens when price overruns occur..
@@ChandlerDavidSmith I am representing fixed income home owners, people paying rent, and people paying rent for retail or business. You are representing your own best interests only.
I am patiently awaiting your replies. First that you wont raise rents when more taxes are levied at your rental properties and second your vast knowledge of the economics of this big of a building project. Since you have contacts who can you get me an appointment with to talk about the economics of this project because I know or sure the district doesn't have a single idea of exactly how this project will move forward if approved.
You weren’t paying attention at the public meetings then. I’ve attended a couple and watched video of others. At each one they answered your questions as best can be answered without knowing specifics like individual home values, future interest rates, how individual landlords will respond to those things as well as any other economic factors. All of that would require speculation and therefore they can’t answer those specific questions. They have put forward for weeks calculators that help estimate what the impact may be on property owners.
Okay I live right by this school and it is small but it is not that bad of a high school😑
Great video 😂yogi
They need to raise a fundraiser or something because they really need to get that school rebuilt because it’s falling apart I was going to go there but when I heard about it I don’t think I want to anymore so I would rather go to skyline but seriously they need it to be rebuilt and it’s gonna take some time because it would cost around 100 billion in order to rebuild it
I'm sure they've spent every dollar they've received wisely. 🙄 Gov't always does that.
youre mad because d91 is overcrowded and needs a bigger school? you clearly haven't seen the bus situation. im in d91 and the buses have kids sitting 4-5 in a seat and some have to sit in the isle. it is dangerous, and my sisters elementary school has multiple classes sharing rooms because of the crowding issue. i understand that it will bring issues but there is 31+ kids in classes now and ive seen the teachers struggling to control their students. i dont support the bond, but im not against it because the schools need to do something.
Chandler: All I can say, Boondoggle. Public school money is NEVER spent well, the tax NEVER reduces, and the public school will continue to ask for more money...because it was your public education that taught you how to sell, invest, and manage real estate...I think NOT.
Ay I saw yogi in town bro
This is why we need a voucher system with private schools
We need new schools so our kids don’t grow up to be like Yogi 😂 Needs to be done! Just voted this morning 💪🏼
I’m pro new school 100% it’s just that the problem for me is the location of the new school. IF is located in a lower socioeconomic part of town right now. If it’s moved to somewhere far away, how will these low income kids get to school? Not everyone can take a bus
There is always going to be someone with a lower income that has a longer distance to travel. The land that is already owned by the school is under a mile away.
Why can’t they ride a bus? They bus kids all over the district. They currently bus kids from south of town to IF. A new school simply ships kids the other direction with a new school.
Great video boys! Let’s do this!!💙🧡

and once again they did not pass it. This is really disappointing to see but of course I'm not supprised as the Idaho falls community votes on it many times and it never passes.
Chandler: Btw, bond money is at least 2years away, more like 5, before being spent. You should look at the "Spending Priorities" list (which is discretionary). Cant tell you how many times a change order costs $$ from poor decision making, and project its go crazy over budget (because they couldnt project costs accurately with a contract), and ....Decision Makers deciding on mahogany desks and office furniture instead of computers because computers are an easier "sell" for a bond increase...than poor planning, cost overruns, and fancy furniture. Seen it way too many times.
SHank literally confirmed with me that if cost overruns occur then he has ways of forcing these overruns on the public without our consent.
Chandler: The best solution to public education is a private school in which every parent invests either money or time. But, if you want a real education, not indoctrination, and want money spent well...have to go private. If parents dont want to participate, their kids dont have to goto private school.
Builders need to pay their fare share of impact fees!!
School districts legally can not charge impact fees in Idaho.
I voted no on this school bond
Everywhere needs a voucher system
There is a stunning amount of fiction in this video.
What fiction? Every single bit of it is fact.
Two points. 1. Yes, Education is critically important. 2. Thinking your $19\m will magically trickle down to these kids education after bond passage is naive at best. It is much more likely to just increase administrative salaries and enrich overpriced construction company executives who happen to donate to local school board members re-election campaigns.
Yep I've already been told by numerous people who are in the know about this that the builder for the project has most likely already been picked out. I wouldn't expect bids to have any real impact on who eventually gets to be the company to build these buildings.
Legally bond money can not be spent the way you suggest. It can only be spent as specified in the bond.
It's great that your advocating for others to donate to this cause you believe in. But voting to steal from others to force them to donate is wrong. If it's something you believe in, tell others to put their money where their mouth is. Socialism is NOT the answer.
