Brian-
Here is the impact of the non residents on the State budget: taken from an article in the Sunday’s San Diego Union “even a modest “10% false registration rate, … would be 4,200 students at a $10,800 average cost per student, or more than $45 million per year.”
They are not illegals. They live in Mexico and get driven up here to attend school for free. It all adds up and costs the California tax payers, causes increases in work load for teachers and increased class size, etc. It is a problem because the school officials refuse to enforce residence requirements. More waste, fraud and abuse.
