You know you have probably hit the nail on the head, I shouldn't care that they are coming. This neighborhood they are all coming from has lower property taxes due to a slightly lower school tax and not being in a MUD like mine. Probably why people buy there and transfer into our district. But I chose to buy where I did because I can cycle right out my front door and I couldn't there. Plus the parents are responsible for taking their own children to school, no bus service for transfers.

Honestly, I just didn't know they could do that. I think the district I grew up in required a fee to transfer but I have been out of public schools for many years. And I was shocked at the number- 170 is a lot of kiddos for a district the size of mine.
