[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You already pay about $20k per year in taxes for public school, whether you have a kid that attends or not, whether you have a kid or not.[/quote]

Where is that number from?

Here's what I find:

MD K-12 budget is ~$9B https://marylandeducators.org/analyzing-gov-moores-historic-8-8-billion-education-budget/#:~:text=At%20%248.8%20billion%2C%20Moore's%20K,%241.1%20billion%20for%20school%20construction.

MCPS budget is ~$3B (47% of total budget https://apps.montgomerycountymd.gov/BASISOPERATING/Common/Index.aspx)

https://moco360.media/2023/03/16/school-board-president-urges-passing-of-county-executives-proposed-budget/#:~:text=If%20approved%2C%20the%20budget%20would,funds%20for%20fiscal%20year%202024.

And I don't know if the MCPS budget is somehow overlapping with the MD budget.
Looks like MCPS budget includes state funds: $0.8B / 25% of the MCPS budget comes from the state, per 2 sources:

(of course MCPS website is 5 years out of date https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/about/budget.aspx )

MoCo has ~1M people, so a family of 4 averages... $3B/ytr/1Mpeople  * 4people/household = ~$12K/household.

Mean household income in MoCo is $172K/yr, for mean household size of 2.74, so adjust accordingly.
