[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They want the kids that are here regardless to not be afraid to be educated at least. As the federal government reimburses FCPS based on the number of children educated and not on the number of citizens educated, FCPS is making a rational choice.

Not defending Karl Frisch, however, and I think his determination to make FCPS stand up an entire virtual program for a limited number of people after the pandemic has essentially ended is ridiculous. [/quote]

Who should foot the bill? [/quote]

What bill? You realize that public education is funded primarily by property taxes, right? This means that if someone is here unauthorized but is paying rent, mortgage, or other for living arrangements s/he is still paying into the property tax pool and therefore paying for public education. As such, even undocumented are "footing the bill" as you say for FCPS education for their kids. This idea that they're not paying for themselves is nonsense. Undocumented pay property taxes, sales taxes, and, yes, often employment deductions taken out of pay checks. The difference is that they don't have a right to claim those benefits due to status issues. you are not getting stuck with the bill.

And no, public school system should not be in charge of reporting anything to ICE. They are not an enforcement agency and that is not their job. They should stick to educating. It is in the benefit of all parties that children of all backgrounds get an education. Common knowledge, people. [/quote]
