So the model that the city has been using is heavily dependent on Federal funds and funds allocated to these groups. As the schools resemble more like the schools in the suburbs, the tax base will have to change to resemble those communities and we will have to raise taxes or start charging a special school tax or cut services. This is one of the hidden reasons why schools are fighting to keep or get disadvantaged populations in gentrifying communities.Former Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657850208923177245noreply@blogger.com
