Good luck. I hear Warner has the regional high school very nearby so if you have kids, so much the better.

Why would you want to send an innocent child to jailschool?

I can think of plenty of reason$.

Public school is cruel and unusual punishment.

I agree, I myself served 13 years...I'm still recovering

The amount of time you would need to correct the effects of gov schools, you could homeschool, or get a second job to pay for private school.

This town spends almost $3,000,000 a year on schools.  The town has less than 3,000 residents.  No kids and I still have to pay for it.  I wonder how much less my rent would be if it weren't for the taxes the landlord has to pay.

Yep, classic issues from a distorted market.
Those with kids are already paying thousands of dollars into the system, and have been paying for many years before having kids.
People where both parents need to work to make the amount of money they deem needed may not have the extra thousands available for private school nor the sheer time investment to home school. Doesn't make such people "bad parents", and the last thing such people need are constant reminders that they "could be doing better" for their children

I am afraid to see the breakdown of how the money is "earmarked"

Sports: $2,998,902.43
Salaries: $1,000.00
Arts: $97.00
Academics: $0.57

I'm sure I'm way off

Well, what with the teachers unions, there's certainly a couple of extra zeroes in the salary figure...
