Five kids over four years? That price tag sounds in the ballpark when you think how much an average school district can spend per kid. That said, I think it's reasonable of the district not to want to foot the bill for kids who reside outside the district. My only question is why the district waited 'til now to make an issue of it.
I'd prefer to see Pat go after Fast Eddie though.
The Democrats would love to unseat Sen. Santorum in a primary and take the seat. I'm sure they agree with you.
petty move by a bitter Western PA Dem. who was fuming over the election and used his itty bit of power on a school board to take a shot at the most-handy Republican (since
tearing all the Bush signs off my lawn apparently did not work)
Santorum is experiencing the karmic reaction that one should expect when peddling one's soul.
It boggles my mind why rich and semi-rich people insist upon enrolling their children in public schools. Public schools are, essentially, welfare schools. Why would someone who could afford to educate his children have them educated at someone else's expense? Too many people who don't need it or deserve it use education welfare (ie. public schools) and use the money they SHOULD have spent on educating their own kids buying rich people toys like huge homes, expensive cars, etc. It is just wrong!

Over Santorum?
Because he thought that his kids could attend a Virtual Elementary in his home state (of which he has a residence)?
Because they paid 5000.00 per student (100,000 divided by 5 children, divided by 4 years = 5,000), less than the 6700.00 per student we pay in MI/
I don't understand the problem here.
I see he has "Chosen to Homeschool"!!!! They were anyway! It was a cyber academy.
This article is just trying to slam him.
$5,ooo on a child is not that much.
Santorum is a name I'll file away with "Specter" and "Hatch".
That's what the author of this article would like to see happen.
Rick Santorum is one of the finest and most conservative senators in Congress. Some around here are biting the hand that feeds them.
