[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

There are plenty of people of all stripes who think APS gets more than [b]its share of the budget[/b].  There are Democrats (including elected officials) who think the schools get too much of the pie.  It's good to ask this question of your candidates if it's important to you, but it's an opinion held amongst non-APE people too.   Btw, people are so obsessed with APE that we need a name to identify who is "not APE."  Non-APE doesn't have a very good ring to it.[/quote]

APS funding needs are not relative to the county budget.

There is a transfer to APS from the county budget.  Yes there are other sources of funding, but this is a large source and maybe the largest (can't remember).[/quote]

Yes, most of the money comes from the county, but the funding [u]requirements[/u] are based off of enrollment, etc. Not a % of revenue.

They can give APS some arbitrary % but that doesn't mean it appropriately funds the schools.
