[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So the real reason for the deficit is the ESOL. How come the county just doesn't come out and say it?

I don't think you can pinpoint any one reason for the deficit. All budget items contribute to the bottom line. Any many factors affect the amount available for spending. [/quote]

Not really, if you add up everything else it's barely a scratch compared to ESOL which increased by 48 million and I bet every year it's increased by a lot making it's total cost dwarf the deficit. [b]I guarantee if ESOL was cut or eliminated FCPS would be cashflow positive for the foreseeable future unless they start doing poor investments.[/quote][/b]

But then they wouldn't actually be educating the percentage of the children who need ESOL.  So that sort of defeats the purpose of public education, no?[/quote]

[b]Agree with PPP.  What world do you live in?   The ignorance of so-called educated people in this area is frightening[/b]. [/quote]

what are you saying? That FCPS is required to educate illegal aliens?

[/quote]

Yes. They cannot ask about documentation status. [b]They are required to educate all who come.[/b] [/quote]

O.K., well that's the problem then, right there. Solve that problem, you solve the budget deficit.[/quote]

That's your stupidity talking. If you don't educate these children they will continue to be a drain on resources as adults. Don't be such an idiot.[/quote]

I think you are missing the argument. They won't be a drain as an adult because they would be deported before reaching that milestone.[/quote]

+1.  [/quote]
