[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the issue is that Fairfax county is too just big.  When school closure decision is made, there is always some parents saying that their neighborhoods have hardly any snow, while other said that they cannot leave their house because road is not passable.  Likewise, now there are schools that are completely overcrowded with 30+ class size, while others are 20 or below.  [b]When it comes to property taxes, there is again a large disparity between the burden.[/b]  This is not sustainable.  They should split the county and decentralize all the school decisions, including funding to the local level, while transfering some taxes through Richmond, much like the federal government.  The rest of the state should share the responsibility to help up the title I schools.[/quote]

I'm tired of hearing this. Fairfax County does not even crack the top 20 largest counties by square mileage in the state of Virginia.

It is the largest by population, however, by a large margin.

And I live in a Title 1 zoned neighborhood, and pay just as much in property taxes as many McLean households do. It isn't all tenement apartments.
