think this may explain why my school taxes are so fucking high?

In the top group many of those %`s are in a number of groups. Our taxes are really reasonable. I have relatives in Forks, Plainfield, Palmer, Moore, Warrington, Doylestown, Camp Hill, Nazereth and Lehigh Twsp. and I laugh at them. My sister in Doylestown pays over 6K on a townhouse.
Donna Les does a great job with the budget but much of the rules are set by the state and fed and there are tons of unfunded mandates.
I thought enrollment was over 6900 and don`t forget cyber and charter schools we pay for. I thought we actually average around 17 students per teacher. Your number may include aids and para-professionals.
There is still waste. One positive step was outsourcing the buses. Then they kept the 2 bus administrators in their $$ jobs on the payroll. Blame the board because one is a board member spouse.
