| > you take the total funding sans property tax Since property tax is a huge source of school funding, "sans property tax" is like saying that we're going to ignore taxes paid by folks who live in detached houses. > > Grocery store people work and have contact with far more people. > Honestly not entirely sure of your source on this. Several hundred is a fairly large school, such schools don't have a single HVAC system, AND Covid doesn't work that way. Moreover, you significantly underestimate store traffic. (Far more people go to grocery stores than go to schools.) Costcos have 750 parking spaces and they turn-over 10-12x times a day. Even with only one person per car, that's 750 different people/day, >5k/week, or >15k/month. (Schools are the same people every day.) Walmarts are comparable. Yes, Costco is 2-3x bigger than the typical grocery store but there's still no comparison. Grocery store workers have far more exposure than teachers. |
