[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](1) TJ is a tax payer funded school. [b]The student should be county residents with citizenship or permanent resident (i.e, green card) status[/b]. This means that their families actually pay taxes or within the documented tax base that funds the school.  In the current situation, not only these foreign/migrant students do not pay out-of-state tuition, they do not pay in-state tuition, period. I can only blame the school system for creating such a situation that tax payers are taken advantage of.  Can anyone from Virginia if they can go to, say Penn State or Georgia Tech, and not pay a dime to attend the school? A scholarship maybe - But our "TJ scholarship" paid for by county tax payers is automatic for anyone. This is absurd!

Citizens or permanent residents only, huh? Okay.  Let me offer you a few insights into your fine immigration system that classifies people into more boxes than the holy triad of citizen, permanent resident, illegal:

1. My household, two G4 employees of international organizations, here for 10+ years, children in FCPS.
2. My neighbor, programmer in H1B status, here for 5 years, children in FCPS. 
3. My gym class buddy, officer at XXX embassy, A2, here for 7+ years, children in FCPS
4. And thousands more just like us with children in FCPS.  Yes, we are here legally.  No, we don't have green cards.  Some of us pay taxes. Some of don't. Yes, our children go to FCPS.[/quote]
