[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the changing demographics means more hispanic lower SES students. Generalizing here:[b] higher percentage of these families rent (no personal property tax on their house)[/b], have more kids, require ESOL services, free or reduced lunch and breakfast, summer school and other special services.[/quote] The owners of rental properties pay property taxes and they generally consider that expense when they figure out the appropriate monthly rent payment, so the renters are paying their share by making it possible for the owner to pay taxes on the property. [/quote] +1 I am a renter and my kid is in private so I am paying more than my share.[/quote] But it's not just about you. Fairfax County currently has no tax other than real estate that pays for it's schools. The tax needs to be spread to renters as well in the form of a sales tax at least.[/quote]
