[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it's booster-funded, but given the basic needs that we can't meet downcounty, and the obvious fundraising limitations for socioeconomically disadvantaged clusters, it is really difficult to hear that some schools have a surplus in an amount that exceeds what our school has raised, cumulatively, in the past two decades, give or take a thousand. [/quote] Well....[b]those individuals pay taxes[/b] and raised money for the sign. Of course donations can be written off...but districts provide additional funding to schools with higher % of specific demographics. I doubt it was surplus but rather funds raised for a specific objective. Private individuals/organizations are expected to fund synthetic turf fields in Fairfax in higher socioeconomic areas. [/quote] We all pay taxes. We all pay the same tax rate, in fact. There is no "more taxes, so we deserve better schools" area in MoCo.[/quote]
