children do pay a tuition, but can only attend a school if there is room for them. also, csd parents who do not live in decatur are allowed to au gratis send their kids to a csd, but may not get their choice of elementary schools.

Just a question, if the annexation goes through, could Decatur accommodate the increased number of students by decreasing the enrollment of children who live outside the city? If so, this could decrease the concern about the space issue, but I’m not sure how this would impact costs since my understanding is that children from outside the city have to pay a tuition to attend.

Yould be amazed at how much gov relies on things provided by folks that have a vested interest in the outcome.
Sometimes innocently sometimes not.

I am worried if it is true that no one but Rosser can really tell us how they came up with the numbers.

This annexation is a very major undertaking for the City. Seems like officials at City Hall and CSD should have already asked detailed questions about how the numbers were dervied and be able to explain it to interested citizens. Simply taking numbers at face value without understanding exactly what they show can lead to big problems.

Well, you were a hysterical ranter…

And I’m still holding out to hear Rosser’s response.
