And .. WE KNOW THE SCHOOLS DON’T WANT US CHECKING ON THE STATUS OF THE STUDENTS .. TA DA!! BECAUSE THEY WOULD LOSE THE MONEY THE FEDS AND THE STATE WILL PAY TO THEM TO EDUCATE THE STUDENT.
FOLLOW THE MONEY ...... AND IT LEADS DIRECTLY TO THE NEA.
I’m not following the logic. Let me state first, I am NOT a fan of the NEA. However, TX schools have similar policies and they are NOT a union state. I did not belong to the NEA when I taught there.
It IS an issue of money, however. The school districts get paid per student, so they have no incentive not to take in every one they can. In addition, they get MORE money for any student who needs special services. So, illegal alien children are at least a twofer, if not a more than twofer.
It would be interesting to see how keen they were to educate them if they were actually docked money for every day an illegal student took up classroom space....
