So if South Carolina public schools go to e-learning, do we get a significant reduction in our property tax?

I’ve had my kids in private schools since 3k and I haven’t seen any reduction. BTW 21 total years between 2 kids.. so far.

class size, discipline, less violence, higher percentage of committed parents, etsedera etsedara..
Of course, I'm just spitballing from my own experience and perspective.

I live within spitting distance of 95. No way in Hades I would put my kids in the public schools here. CO94 pretty much nailed it. It’s not lack of funding or willing teachers that’s the problem imo. It’s a percentage of students and their parents who have no interest in education yet are catered to by upper administration. The teachers and some of the principles are in an untenable situation and do the best they can. As for me, it’s hell on my wallet but my kids come first.

reduction for putting kids in private school? That was your choice, you could have used the free public school.

3k is kindergarten. If I pay a full tuition to put my kids in a fully funded school, I have actually done the public schools a favor by reducing class size. I don’t really expect one, I know how it works. Was just presenting a different scenario to the OP question of E-learning possibly causing a reduction of PT. BTW, if you are familiar with Pee Dee area schools, (outside of some of the elementary schools) it really isn’t a choice.

Because his children aren’t there, the teachers have more time for the other students.

The same arms race that has been going in the college football world has been going on in public schools for some time. The Superintendents basically see it as their hand print or legacy if they can push a new school on the tax payers. And it is always deemed as essential to your child's future, because children nowadays cant learn if the school is 30years old without a new 3k seat gym and 7k seat football stadium with 10k sqft weight room and a jumbotron than cost more than most Southern Conference schools have.
Now factor in the educators who mailed it in the last half of last school year ( having a child in school I dealt with it 1st hand)and then some who are refusing to go back to work this fall if school is held on campuses.
Taxpayers get absolutely raped on the cost of public school in this state and if you speak up about it, then you hate kids and education.
But yeah, those big new schools do look pretty sitting empty.

School tax assessed right? We pay less toward public schools on average than most states.

I live in York County and approximately 50% of my net taxes go to "School Debt Service".

Yes, but school tax votes are always held on a stand-alone voting day, separate from the general election or even the primaries. The teachers and education lobby can easily win, unless there is a very powerful, and organized, opposition.
