[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The private school parents are stealing money and services from MCPS. They also are hurting the ratings.

Schools get a lot of Federal and State aid that that is paid on a per student basis. Pulling a kid unexpected and last minute the school has same cost to teach those classes but with less students less money. Add in higher performing and more active parents in general who split to private lower test scores and less involved Parents it is a headache. [/quote]
Private school parents are paying property taxes to support schools they aren’t using. You left out that part of your sob story.[/quote]

This post makes no sense.  MCPS gets funding based on enrollment.  MCPS cannot please everyone but they are making zero efforts this school year to keep our kids safe so if more of us pull out its on MCPS, not private school families.  We all pay taxes for schools regardless of if you use the schools.  The issue is allocation.  MCPS needs to do more to keep families in MCPS by providing for all students needs.  We went to private school for a few years as MCPS would not meet my child's needs without a fight and by the time we hired an attorney, it was better to spend that money on a private given we'd lose a year fighting.  We are considering leaving again as MCPS is not doing anything to protect our kids health, particularly given the delta variant.[/quote]
