Don't forget that the parents of children who go to parochial and/or private schools also pay taxes. They relieve the towns of the burden (and the cost) of educating their children by paying to send them to a parochial or private school. I think it is cheaper for the district to bus these kids than to educate them. I seem to remember the superintendent panicking when St. Elizabeth's closed a few years back. If we stop paying to bus these kids, there are bound to be several (maybe many) who end up in BWRS schools.
