Not all areas that abolish public school districts have to lower property taxes. The best place to lower property taxes is in suburban areas that have room to expand. Other communities that are more boxed-in could keep tax rates the same and spend the money on other priorities.
Some areas are trying to improve public schools by legislation, but those improvements are only incremental. We're making minimal improvements one law at a time. How many laws must be passed before public schools are as good or better than private schools, and how many years will those changes take?
We've already proven that private school students and homeschool students usually outperform public school students. Instead of trying to fix public schools so they're as good or better than private schools, why not just get rid of public schools, and encourage more people to build private schools and more parents to homeschool their children? That would be the better solution if you ask me. As much as 70% of property tax dollars are used to pay for public schools. Get rid of public schools and parents could use that money to send their kids to private schools. If private schools are built in areas without public schools, the lower property taxes would enable the private schools to charge less for tuition and that would increase attendance.
