In Wisconsin the state fund that gives money for materials to school
ibraries "calculates each school district's allocation, basing the
amount on the number of children ages 4 through 20 living in the
district." So that funding is not based on the number of public school
students, but basically all theoretical students living in the district.

I can't speak for every public school, but our local public school
does get a large percentage of our property taxes that every parent
pays regardless of whether or not the student attends the school. I
know the public universities in Iowa have had to deal with taxpayers
who wish to use the library because they pay taxes even though they
never have nor will enroll themselves for their children in the
college. If the 300 students that attend our private school suddenly
attended the public school, they would be in a dire situation. The
additions to the building that are required and the additional staff
etc. would be much more expensive than the monies received for those
students. I agree with others who have commented that we stop being
angry at each other and try to work for the good of ALL kids, we are
all in the business of caring about and educating the children of
this country.
