What is not reported in this article is that if a student is present 1 day in September and 1 day in october the school gets funding for that student. So if they are withdrawn after that in the year. The money is already sent to the system.
You know how much it costs to homeschool a kid? $900/year.
Thousands of Baltimore kids get diplomas after we pay for them to be there when they’re not. Have those problems been resolved after years of Democrat promises? Nope. Not even an uptick.
I have no children in public schools so GIVE ME BACK MY REFUND FOR TAKING MY TAX DOLLARS TO SUPPORT PUBLIC SCHOOLS. They don’t attend then schools should not be given tax dollars for these non-attendees.
