Toda a committee will be meeting later today to discuss the overcrowding problem facing many of the schools in Washoe County. Kolo 8 news nows matt vaughan has more on what theyll be focusing on at the meeting and how you can get involved in the conversation. At tonights meeting. This committee will be looking at different options for raising the money needed to repair older schools and build new ones to relieve overcrowding. At this weeks state of education address. Superintendent traci davis made it clear that a solution needs to be found. Otherwise. Its going to have a major impact on students. We understand that if we dont build schools, double sessions is going to happen in the next 5 years. As you heard davis mention. If the funding isnt there. Some schools will have to students through each day. That would mean earlier start times in order to double a schools capacity. And some campuses could be put on year round scheduling. The Public Schools overcrowding and repair Needs Committee will be meeting tonight to try and find a way to avoid these scenarios. The two options theyll be looking at are either sales tax only, or a combination of sales tax and property tax. In an earlier interview. Committee chair shaun carey said that it would take about a half cent increase in our sales tax rate to raise the needed funding. That equates to about 8 a month for a family of four. 8 a month would provide you greatly improved schools and if you did this on property tax would be about 10 a month.

Mos theyre going to drive drunk even if its 0. 00 if slinging back a few cocktails didnt stop you from getting behind the wheel before. A new proposal by the National Transportation safety board might do the job. Bill it could possibly bring in more arrests. Its asking states to lower the legal limit by nearly half from. 08 to. 05. In the u. S. Onethird of all highway deaths involved alcohol in the last 15 years. If the states adopt the standard. They could get more funding for highways. Bill if the states dont comply with the requests, then they try to provide incentives and the incentives are usually more traffic funding. Nats of blowing blowing a. 05. Is about the equivalent to one drink for a woman who pounds. And about two drinks for a 160 pound man. Or if you look at alcohol servings. A 12 ounce beer, a glass of wine or a shot is about a. 02 difference. So having all three can easily put you over the limit and under arrest. Bill it varies with each individual and the amount of alcohol they drink and how their body metabolizes it, their reaction, how theyre following , their vision. But even if the legal limit is lowered. Lt. Ames doesnt think it will make that much of a difference.
