The county poaches all the best students for an elite education, stripping the local district, charging the sending district and the county taxpayers for the education. If a student and family wants an elite school for their kids, let them pay for it – full boat. Otherwise, vouchers for all kids. It’s a scam the county has played since the late school power broker John Grieco concocted. You may want to notice that they have no mandate to accept any special needs students like the local district – just an observation.
Districts should not be required to pay for students attending these schools. The whole concept is bad.
They siphon off resources for a small number of students. I do not like the idea of vouchers but if these schools are allowed to take funds then we should have a voucher system for all.
