[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What budget crisis?  The budget goes up every single year.[/quote]

This.  I've stopped taking their cries of woe seriously.  It's a complete 'boy who cried wolf' situation.[/quote]

The school board and FCPS has a problem with math.  MORE money every single year is hardly a budget crisis.[/quote]

People who don't understand that serving 100,000 students on $100,000, is better than serving 150,000 students on $110,000 are the ones with a problem with math.  I don't support a tax increase and I think programs should be cut, but the math argument is silky because FCPS has seen a significant increase in kids, and the budget increases have not kept pace with those increases.[/quote] Finally, something we can agree on!

-OP, parent, tax increase supporter[/quote]

Well. No.

Enrollment is flat.  From FCPS: https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/pdf/FY17ProposedBudgetPresentation.pdf  Slide 16:

Due to slowing growth, there is no requirement to add additional funding for enrollment in FY 2017

Your "math" example is a farce. Please source your numbers.  I'd love yo see your reference for 50% growth. Or are you making up numbers....almost the definition of a math fail.
