ZD,
It is clear that you are completely unaware of the facts.
“Against public schools and try to eliminate it”? Where do you eve get this from?
Even the hateful so calls Ctivists, such as the ??? Ari Hart, makes no such claim. And his rant are full of lies and inaccuracies.
The real picture is that the state funding formula is highly flawed because there are mandated services (That means required by law) that the district must provide to all students, those in public AND in non-public schools and the formula only accounts for those in public schools.
There is also a cap, by state law, to the amount that school taxes can be raised each year. After paying for mandated services, such as busing and special education, the remaining budget does not allow for unlimited Extra Curicular programs and certain capital expenditures must be delayed as well.
If you read the “Activists” rhetoric (and they are activists like the Aryan Brotherhood are activists) you would see that they want no services at all to go to children who are on non-public schools. Not busing and not special education. This is all on their web sites. They use the budget shortfall for the district as an opportunity for to express their thinly veiled hate of the Orthodox Jews. And the overwhelming majority of the activists are not even from the district. Even Meryl Tisch, she would rather write an op-ed full of gross inaccuracies rather than own up that her agency has completely messed up the funding formula.
But you somehow managed to make a more egregious claim than even these so called activists. It must be because you really are clueless about the facts and situation.
