Thanks Salsa, I was trying to figure out how districts can afford to do this and if this was normal.

I don't really mind now that I have considered some the points here. My father also told me the reason he thinks they are doing it is the Texas Robin Hood plan. In Texas if you are an affluent district you are required to send some of your tax revenue to help fund poorer districts. On paper it is a wonderful law but for the past 15 or so years since it has been a very controversial law. I am honestly not sure what all the problems are with it, if it just the rich not wanting to share or if there is more to it. If districts allow children in without the tax base, they can up the number of kids they have without upping the yearly tax revenue, plus the state does pay based on attendance. I am not sure if this is true or why my district is doing it, but it made sense.
