I live in a high FARMS area and I am disgusted when I see 2-3 buses dropping off children at apartment complexes, because the school board is KNOWINGLY UNDERCOUNTING how many children apartments yield. They know DAMN WELL that they need to adjust their yield formula for apartment complexes on this side of the county, and they are not. [/quote]

Why are you disgusted?

Besides overcrowding at a particular school, what's the problem with FCPS having incorrect yield formulas?  If they tweak it and make it more correct, it will cause them to change school boundaries and move kids around to even out the load amongst all the schools - this is a good thing - but it wouldn't change the underlying issue of an increasing school age population or of the other issue you seem to highlight, which is not enough real estate tax revenue.  These two things are outside the powers of FCPS.

FCPS can perhaps do a better job of distributing students to spread the overcrowding around but their lack of doing so doesn't seem to rise to "disgusting" imo.[/quote]

The yield formulas impact how much real estate taxes the owners are charged, so it does make a difference.[/quote]
