She doesn't know where her state gets their Revenue? Maybe she should look at her property tax bill, her sales register receipts, her gasoline prices, her utility bills, etc.
Not to mention the state of KS has "school enrollment fees" that are charged every year. In the Blue Valley district, it costs $100 per school-aged child (grades K-12, and this is per student, not per family). This is referred to as a "Learning Resource Fee" and must be paid each year, for each child. It is not a one shot deal. In addition to this, there is a $15 per student "technology supply fee". And in addition to these, there is also an "activity fee" all must pay, ($50-$80 for middle school, $120 for high school). This is in addition to fees charged for school sports programs such as drill team, cheerleading, certain clubs and school sports (football team, baseball team, basketball, etc).
Everyone pays these fees, for each kid, every year. (except of course those on welfare/state assistance, the free-lunch folks).
