[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please fill them out. The school district gets money for all children of active duty them trying military and federal government workers. It’s free money. It is not impacted by the shut down. It’s important please fill them out.[/quote]

Except FCPS does not direct that money to the schools with military connected atudents as intended.

It goes into the general fund, away from the military connected students.

FCPS is wasting money on political lawsuits and unnecessary rezoning/consultants right now.  That  is where their priorities lie, not with students.

If the impact aide money went directly into the classrooms, or proportionally to the schools with military connected students, that would be one thing.  But why would anyone fill out the form when the money is just going to go to things completely unrelated to military connected kids or the students at large?[/quote]
General fund money goes to all the schools.  General fund money funds those schools where the military and fed students are attending.  You sound like the crazy people who don't pay taxes because some of it is spent on things you don't personally use.  [/quote]

This money does not go where it is intended to go.[/quote]
It is intended to go to the school system that is funding resources for all these extra military kids without getting tax money to support them.  Military are exempt from things like the car tax while deployed here.  It is not special money earmarked for only the military kids.  It is meant to offset the extra expenses being incurred that are already not being supported.[/quote]

Most military families living here actually ARE domiciled in Virginia, meaning they DO pay car tax, pay VA income tax, and the other normal taxes.

Military are never are exempt from real estate taxes, which are the main source of FCPS funding.

The minority of military families domiciled elsewhere often have a domicile in a state (e.g., Texas, Alaska) without an income tax. [/quote]
