When Barbara McIlvaine Smith was asked why the West Chester Area School District continues to receive the lowest levels of state funding possible, she said this:
Barbara McIlvaine Smith clearly does not understand the harm she is doing to our local schools by sending our hard-earned tax dollars elsewhere. Just as bad, her votes for minimum state funding for our schools are driving up our school property taxes. She is depriving our children of precious resources and hurting our school district. With your support, I will work to make sure our children and schools get the funding they need and deserve.
