And we’d want to mirror that why?

I guess because they feel in some clusters raising property taxes is not a good move as school quality is not increasing.


People handle that by moving to a cluster or district that they do think deserves it.

There's no mechanism for cluster by cluster funding and no way it makes sense in a county based district

You’re clearly a g-d idiot but what kind of dumbassery are you trying to present? There’s no mechanism by which this is possible under state law. And it’s stupid.

I meant where we can opt out of extra costs, if we the parents feel like the cluster doesn’t deserve it.


That would be a NO.

Yes, in my cluster there’s no way I would pay more.

What if cluster, by cluster. A school levy is held? How would you guys feel about that? We vote to pass the levy for the money or vote no and no money is given.
