I'm troubled by your comment "an insult to our ability to use a calculator."
I believe you're running for school board yet you're not able to see that your calculation based upon the published tax rate cannot be correct. I think you should question either the level of assessment or the published tax rate of $178.64 per thousand as $11+ thousand in school tax for a home assessed at $75K. It is not a plausible calculation of the tax amount so rather than accept it you should question it.
Sorry to be critical but if you want to effect change on the school board, it's important to question the info you're given.
