[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You haven't offered a clear definition of what it means for a school to be "overburdened." [b]Title I schools get extra funds and have smaller classes and more teaching assistants than other schools.[/b] In FCPS and other area jurisdictions, many of the best principals and other administrators are assigned to those schools. And FCPS is building more new schools in eastern Fairfax than just about anywhere else in the county (new building at Glasgow, Mason Crest, Bailey's Upper, plans to expand Stuart/Justice, etc.).

And, just where do you think those funds come from?  The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

The SB asked for extra funds from the feds when we had the influx of unaccompanied minors.  Nothing extra was given.

Yes, Title I funds come from the feds--that does not mean it is "free."  And, FCPS also gives additional funds for extra staffing in Title I schools that comes from our local funding.  So, you please tell me, where is it coming from?  It is money that is being taken from the rest of the kids.

It's an investment in our future.  Your griping is no different from the Protestants who didn't want the Irish, the Italians, and the Jews coming into the county decades ago, or the whites who passed the Chinese Exclusion Act.  [/quote]
