Dunno...but when I needed to put Daughter #1 in a private school for a while to protect her from bullying, the tax people were very sticky about refunding any taxes because of it. If you want something different from government-issue education, it costs extra.

And somehow I don't think the Norristown Area district is going to let me stop paying once Daughter #2 graduates; based on the 10% increase in next year's preliminary budget they already have that money spent and then some.

If you want to go to an all-private education system, I certainly won't oppose it. But you'll have to explain it to the parents who beleve they have a right to have you pay for it.
