[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS is 6 times bigger than Cambridge in terms of head count. In NY and NJ - and i think in MA too - they are well known for having much smaller districts. I presume that impacts the cost of things. [/quote] I assume taxes are also higher in Cambridge.[/quote] Probably. We should raise taxes and spend more on education. [/quote] Taxes could be higher. They aren’t, so as to allow older folks to age in place and to keep lower income homeowners in their neighborhoods. Also, the middle is getting really squeezed. If we want to beef up the “missing middle,” higher taxes present a challenge. Basically, it’s not going to happen, not since the county doesn’t really give a d*** about schools and thinks they already get too much of the budget. [/quote] Which ironic because the county’s number one priority is affordable housing, which generates more school aged kids than any other type.[/quote]
