The most common reason is that they simply don't want to pay school fees and taxes.

If you take a photo of the agriculture around here, you can see all the land around the site. That's what it used to look like, beautiful pristine land and this is what it's turned into, a massive disaster that will have to be resolved somehow.

I couldn't even guess (at the number).

The tribe is entitled to credit for the school taxes it has paid on the off-reservation property, which is the site of its bingo hall in Rock Hill. The district wants to get more money than it would be entitled to.

No school board member in this state likes raising taxes, but if we're not properly funded by the state or the federal government, and the costs are increasing, we don't have a choice.

I am favor of cutting taxes under any circumstances and for any excuse, for any reason, whenever it's possible.
