[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every tiny school system l in the Rest of Virginia can afford beautiful buildings, copious middle school sports and activities, etc, and FCPS somehow cannot? [/quote]

The current state-level school funding formula disfavors FCPS. Those tiny school systems you refer to see NoVa as their cash cow and collectively have enough voting power to prevent meaningful change that would enable FCPS to collect a proportional share of state funding.[/quote]

+1[/quote]

I bet those tiny systems don't waste the dollars that FCPS does.  And, do you feel the same way about neighborhoods in FCPS?  [b]You are complaining about this while wanting to shift kids from affluent neighborhoods to raise the scores of other school neighborhoods.[/b][/quote]

Wrong. I am against moving kids to boost the scores of other schools in FCPS. Our school board is terrible. There is definitely waste in FCPS and it should be cut. At the same time, Fairfax should be able to to keep more of its money for FCPS and other public services for residents of Fairfax County.[/quote]

So, that our School Board and superintendent can waste more funds?[/quote]

No, so that we can keep NOVA money in-house. We should not be responsible for funding the rest of the state.[/quote]
