[quote=Anonymous][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.

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.

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]

I didn't say there was so a more taxes better schools area.  The schools are not McD's franchises....more $ are spent per pupil  in some areas so people are getting a greater return on their investment.  less in more out.  There is by the nature and tone of your post an expectation that "we pay less taxes so we deserve better schools. "   You do get more public money per student.
