[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people at the top of the MCPS system want to close the achievement gap, and t[b]hey think it's totally fair for the richer taxpayers to pay for the poorer areas' schools.[/b] They also will move programs around as needed to achieve equity. Same with admissions criteria for magnets, or extra resources for individual schools, or policies regarding PTA fundraising efforts etc. I know this from talking to several people in the system who are decision-makers. This is the MCPS mandate and the philosophy and you should plan accordingly. I'm not commenting on that one way or the other, I'm just stating the facts. If what you want is inconsistent with those goals, you can try to lobby for a town-like school system or go to private and live somewhere where your taxes won't be used like this. [/quote] Yes, that's because taxes are taxes, not user fees.[/quote]
