[quote=Anonymous]There's no way to exactly quantify this to the penny, but several sources point to middle-class income in this region as being between $70,000 and $200,000 (which definitely applies to most of your average fed/fed working couples). Also, again: SACC fees are on a sliding scale to begin with. No one expects the working poor to pay what a middle-class household is paying. What Cook and other supervisors want to do is skew the scale so that the middle class clients are paying a greater percentage. The incomes I state above do not allow tons of luxuries when you are looking at a typical Fairfax house payment, and they are not the incomes of people who could lose one job and barely notice. Targeting the middle class in particular is a dangerous game if you want to preserve the state of FCPS. If you lose them to Loudon, you're left with rich and poor, which is a terrible scenario for a public school system. Ask D.C. and Alexandria as well as parts of Arlington.[/quote]
