[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Virginia DOE has established a Governor’s School for each region of the state. We all subsidize these schools through our state income taxes. That won’t change even if APS pulls out. We will just be subsidizing a system of state magnet schools that none of our kids are eligible to attend. The main “additional” cost for TJ for APS is the transportation. The academic cost to educate the kids at TJ is actually less than what APS spends on a per head basis in our own high schools. So if transportation is the issue, then let’s talk about solutions for that problem- [b]maybe implement a sliding scale to charge parents or something like that.[/b] APS is not requiring the students who are already at TJ to leave, so presumably they will be running a bus for the next three years already. There is time to work that out. Pulling out completely is just stupid. [/quote]

Legally, a school district can't charge residents to attend a Governor's School. And it can't charge for transportation. [/quote]
