Indeed. And precisely the primary problem with education today.[/quote]

That’s far from the primary problem. It’s way behind insufficient funding and insane parents. [/quote]

It’s mismanagement of (a lot of) taxpayer funds. And parents who don’t give a crap about their kids’ education.[/quote]

No, APS is underfunded.

The state and county should step up and appropriately fund our schools. 
[i]"“Virginia school divisions receive less K-12 funding per student than the 50-state average,
the regional average, and three of Virginia’s five bordering states. School divisions in other
states receive 14 percent more per student than school divisions in Virginia, on average,
after normalizing for differences in cost of labor among states. This equates to about
$1,900 more per student than Virginia.”
[b]Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC)
estimates that annually APS is underfunded by approximately $51 million[/b]"[/i]

Plus we get a$$hat Youngkin trying to *cut* the budget, with rising costs.

The CB also needs to pull the CIP out of the operating budget to more accurately and appropriately account for the actual operating budget. [/quote]
