It’s only fair that the homeowners (and renters, thru their higher rent) who live within the CFD’s and HOA’s should be able to enjoy the facilities and schools built within the CFD’s over residents who do not live there. Especially those who pay *exorbitant* MR (over $4K per year). Why should a student who lives outside the CFD be able to attend schools with certain amenities that their parents didn’t or aren’t paying for?

I don’t mind that my kids’ schools were 30-50 yrs old at the time they attended them (and are now even older). Two have undergone extensive repairs from voter-approved bond $$. If the drinking fountains were chipped and broken, some lockers didn’t work anymore, the lunch tables are looking a little ragged, there is no pool or auditorium, so be it. I never paid MR and I won’t pay MR, ever. I believe the quality of a school is heavily dependent on its teachers. And my kids have been blessed in that department :=]
