[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If their parents live here and pay rent (which includes property taxes) then they are entitled to be in the schools and get the services they need.

If they are “unaccompanied minors” how can their parents live here?  [/quote]

Yes, the unaccompanied minor issue is a separate and important issue.  In my school we have children from ESOL families.  Not unaccompanied minors.

However even UMs must live somewhere, and every residence pays property taxes, does it not?[/quote]

The problem is that rental units don't pay their appropriate share of taxes.  Fairfax County uses a formula that assumes that very few kids live in apartment buildings and so underchanges.  The formula is based on an assumption that is definitely not the case in apartment buildings in, for example, Bailey's Crossroads where multiple families with many kids live in one unit.  The formula needs to be adjusted.  The formula should be adjusted to account for reality, and the owners of these properties should have to pay more.   [/quote]
