    There, I have asked the dreded question to be avoided at all costs. Let me guess the answer. The district doesn't know because they don't/won't ask or don't track such information. Well as someone who pays plenty of taxes to support our public schools, I think the school district administration should be able to answer that question and provide a breakdown in their annual budget requests of what it is costing to school these kids and how many are enrolled in our schools. Elementary, middle and high school populations. I know of no constitutional requirement to fund the education of illegal aliens.
    Or, to pay for the teaching of English as a “second” language. But it is very PC.

    It is really scarey what you post sometimes. It is like I crawled into your mind. I thought I had already asked that question, but I went back and can't find it. I guess I typed it and either didn't hit the button or chickened out. Good for you for asking.
    We all know why there are more kids in school.
    I am sick of all this politicaly correct crap.
    I am a short, fat old lady not a vertically challanged, senior citizen. I don't know the PC for fat. (:
    I got a nasty phone call from the hospital the other day because my insurance had not paid somewhere around $12.00 for a pill in the ER and they didn't want to turn me over to a collection agency. Who do they turn the ER bills over to that illegals don't pay?

    You could ask how many bi-lingual teachers they have on staff and class size of each. That would be a start.
