The article said there was over 900 hispanic students in the school district that must equate into 50 families.

Could be a problem for teachers and subs that depend on their salaries to support their own families.

But not for the taxpayers, who have families of their own.

I see how much you support your tax paying brethren. Teachers have families too. I am not a teacher so I do not take this personal but do have many teacher friends. Their families depend on them not to mention what would happen to their pensions. Teachers always seem to get the bad end of the stick. Low pay, taken for granted and now a new type of displacement threat.

90 Students
In NJ those 90 sutdents would have been costing the NJ Homeowner over one million dollars a year. MY taxes are 11,000 a year........I hope the same thing happens in NJ, every million helps.

If they weren't there in the first place, which they shouldn't have been, you would have the same situation with the teachers. They would have to get a job elsewhere. A lot of us have had to change jobs throughout our lifetimes.

90 less students in the county school system. The teachers are still going to get paid. This just might help the overcrowding some.

Valid, but not a reason to excuse illegal immigration particularly when there are many school districts that cannot seem to find enough qualified teachers.
