[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our neighbor works in the office of an FCPS elementary and they have inadvertently discovered 3 out-of-county students attending school this year already. (They weren't looking or checking.)

I think FCPS needs to shift some useless Gatehouse admins over to investigating and removing kids who don't live in Fairfax.

I would rather pay more in property tax than have student-teacher ratio increased.

[b]Our elected reps in Richmond need to do more to keep FCPS from getting screwed by the rest of Virginia in the funding formulas.[/b][/quote]

How?  The current school funding formulas benefit a super majority of the state and screw a minority.  What local politician will change a formula that benefits his/her constituency?  Same for transportation and everything else for that matter.  The only benefit we get more of is that our children go to the state schools at a higher rate than ROVA.

I have lived in NOVA for 20_+ years.  I have been represented by Rs and Ds when they were in the majority and the minority - every possible option.  Nothing changes and it won't if more people benefit from the current system than don't.[/quote]
