I don't purchase enough to cover the rest. My house has two students in school, that alone is $26k a year. We pay $8500 in property taxes. 1% of our income is not enough to make up the differnce, let alone 1% of what we spend. I would wager to be my neighbors do not spend enough to cover the difference either. [/quote]

No one says you need to do so.  Did you pay any taxes before your kids went to school?  Hate to tell you, but you will pay taxes after they are out of school.  Do you own any vehicles?  What is the value of your vehicle?  Do you or DH work in Fairfax County?  The businesses pay taxes.

You said your neighborhood did not cover the expense for 34 kids.  I say that your neighborhood more than covers it.  I bet that your neighborhood has way more than 80 cars.  That alone is probably at least another.  At a minimum, I bet your neighborhood pays 100K in car tax alone.

My kids have been out a few years.  We lived in our house before they went to school.  We covered their expenses in property tax alone by now.

Oh, yes, and the schools do get some money from the state--so your state taxes are also going towards their "tuition".
