Community Activism is Not a Spectator Sport

In response to a comment filed under the previous post about a way to relieve the tax burden was for the board to make sure all at our district were taxpayers in our district...

If the district knows about the students then the student's school is likely paying us to bring the student here.If the school is not aware of the outer residency issue then it is up to you to notify the school. I know of one parent who called the school a few years ago about a parent who lived in another town and brought their children to Plainview where the grandmother lived every morning so the bus could pick up the children. The parent who complained ,called the school and they looked into it and informed the parent of the children that they would owe the school $$$ for their children in our school. The result was that the children are now in their own school district. Community activism is not a spectator sport as many believe.
