I personally am against allowing outside students into our district as this would be a change which could have significant consequences for our children. Classes sizes could be larger, academic classes that our children may want at the high school level could be filled with tuition students, as wells as sports teams, plays and clubs. They would have equal rights to everything!

If other outside students want to go to our schools they should have to share in the same taxes the rest of us have to pay and move to our communities. A tuition student will pay under $9,000 per student at the high school level.

I realize that our tax rates will be increasing and some are looking at this as creative financing to offset taxes, but this would be a permanent change and I’m not certain that the small amount of revenue that we would generate would offset the negative.

In two weeks they will do the final vote at the school board meeting. If you feel strongly one way or another please contact the school board members above and voice your opinion
