Scholarships are reduced or free tuition. Isn't that what you have at all public schools. It costs money to educate children. At private schools that money is paid privately by those who attend the school, but at public schools it is paid through taxes. Are there any students at your school, Paintsville, that live out of district? If so, do they pay tuition to attend PHS? If not your school is doing exactly what you are accusing private schools of only with tax payer money.

As long as schools practice open enrollment, which I know is frequently occurring in the 15th, and has been for the last twenty-five plus years, there is no difference between private schools and public schools, except that private schools must explain to the KHSAA where the tuition comes from. Also if the tuition does not come from an immediate family member that student will not be eligible to participate in KHSAA sanctioned sports. To make the playing field level students who attend public schools out of the districts they live in should be forced to pay tuition, or the district they live in should release funds for that students tuition. Why should my tax dollars pay tuition for students from other communities?

Paintsville does actually charge tuition for out of district students lol.
