well Bob ..that table has even myself wondering why the funding per student is what it is. Any ideas?

 

[Bob Hudson]

The table shows that:

• 
  [*=1]There are 3095 students in the schools South of the Bay (Sowal)

​

• 
  [*=1]That property taxes paid by property owners south of the Bay pay $64.9 Million dollars in School taxes

​

• 
  [*=1]When you divide the taxes paid in Sowal by the number of students in Sowal they pay an average of $20,997 for each student.

​

• 
  [*=1]That there are 4727 students in the Schools north of the Bay (Norwal)

​

• 
  [*=1]That property taxes paid by property owners north of the Bay pay 9.3 Million dollars in School taxes

​

• 
  [*=1]When you divide the taxes paid in Norwal by the number of students in Norwal they pay an average of $1,969 for each student

​

They were provided to show a poster the accurate data on who pays.

These numbers have no bearing on what the school system spends on each child or in geographic terms

That data is not available.

If you are speaking of the bed tax/tourist tax on short-term rentals, that is only collected south of the bay, since that it is the area for the TDC special district.

that's what I'm saying. BUT does all tax money stay South or is it shared. Bet it's shared. That's a lot of $$$ if all owners pay it.

It's four percent collected by the owners from the tourists. The law requires the bed tax to be used for purposes that promote tourism and for beach nourishment (one of the four "cents"). The commissioners have recently gotten attorney general opinions and made legislative findings to provide for some of the funds to be used for such purposes as bike path maintenance and construction and acquisition of land for parking and beach accesses in the TDC's special district. In the last couple of years some funds have been allocated for promotion of events north of the bay such as Chautauqua and Marvel of Flight. I think $20,000 per year is now budgeted for these purposes.

Owners don't pay a bed tax.
