Read, and deliberately not counted (1)
Kenneth Nivison ticked "Other" or "Undecided" on these and wrote a sentence underneath that leans one way without settling it. Getting from what they wrote to a For or an Against takes a chain of reasoning, and a chain of reasoning is not a position somebody took. None of these are in the score. They are printed so the reader can check the line we drew, instead of taking on trust that one was drawn at all.
- Public school open enrollment with limitsTicked Other, not counted
“Allowing unrestricted out of district enrollments with no review or regulation would introduce substantial instability in local school budgets and invariably increase property taxes. I oppose such a program.”
He opposes a program he describes as unrestricted and unreviewed. The question asks about a floor of 10% per district, which is not quite that program. Leans Against. Not counted.
Left out of the score (2)
“Undecided”, “Other” and unanswered questions are excluded from the arithmetic, exactly as an absence is excluded on a roll call. None of these counted against Kenneth Nivison.
