District turns parents against tax

To the editor:

I noticed in the Southeast Missourian that Kelly School District is trying to pass a tax increase to build a new school. It seems funny to me that when seniors graduate at midyear, which frees up some space, the school punishes these students by saying, "No graduation walk, no prom." The district wants the parents of these students to vote for a tax increase, but these parents aren't allowed to see their children receive a diploma for all their all work. The district has a no from me and a lot of other parents.
