Again they get MORE federal money.
The federal money doesn’t make up for the short fall — particularly in light of the types of problems kids suffer by living in a community with large numbers living in poverty. You get a lot of kids damaged in the womb through alcohol and drugs that have to be educated, to name just one problem.
As an FYI — I know folks paying $20,000+ in property taxes and believe it’s money well spent because of the excellence of the school system.
