[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of Arlington’s neighboring counties aren’t beholden to a very strict revenue sharing agreement that ArlCO has with APS. It’s also hard to compare counties when Fairfax and Loudoun are so huge and Alexandria City has so much need. [/quote]

Exactly. [/quote]

There is a county board race happening right now. Has anyone asked all of those candidates if they will properly fund APS?

Thats where you should spend your time, stop beeatching about a few vaca days. The fact that APE keeps talking about vaca days instead tells me all I need to know about their true agenda. [/quote]

Yup. They won't touch Youngkin or the County Board. They want to underfund APS.

I do not support all of APS’ insane funding demands, because I see APS wasting and abusing taxpayer dollars on programs and people that do not benefit our children and are not worth the cost.  [/quote]

The most insane part of the budget is including capital improvements.

What programs/people do you want to get rid of? How much would that save APS? Peanuts.

COL is going up. Teaching is becoming increasing challenging. Classroom sizes are increasing. Put the money where it will help kids. Hire more teachers. Pay them more.

APS is underfunded by ~$50M. VA needs to step it up and support public schools.
