[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some interesting numbers: “As Fairfax County Public Schools increases its budget to $3.8 billion, [b]up 8.6% from fiscal 2024, [/b]taxpayers have been put on notice that they will be hit with more property tax increases. Fairfax County residents’ property tax bills are expected to increase again by an average of $524 per household in 2025. Meanwhile, district administrators are gaslighting taxpayers about per-pupil spending. On March 6, they sent an email to parents complaining that Virginia’s public school districts receive less state funding than public schools in other states. That might be intended to distract us from the fact that per-pupil spending in Fairfax County is substantially higher than the national average. In the 2024 budget, [b]the annual cost per K-12 public school pupil in Fairfax County was $19,795. The national per-pupil average the same year was $12,612.”[/b] https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/community-family/2918802/fcps-deceives-taxpayers-per-pupil-spending-legal-expenses/[/quote] And how does fairfax county compare in terms of cost of living to the national average? Are teachers, principals, custodians, bus drivers, etc supposed to be paid the average when they live in a high cost of living area? Dumbest argument ever. [/quote]
