Or moving out and the schools don't mean anything to them anymore.
Even if someone plans on moving out of the district, the schools here should still matter. There are over 16,000 students in our district. We can educate them now, and give them the best possible chance at a prosperous future, or we can doom them to a life of subsistence wages and missed opportunities. In addition, since ours is an economically disadvantaged district, most of the revenue comes from state and federal tax dollars. Unless you leave the country, you'll be paying for these schools.
