Nonesuch, thank you for answering cb. In addition, just because someone has the money to buy a big house, children or not, that doesn't mean they should be telling everyone how to change their town.
At the last town meeting, it was mentioned that each time a family with 2 children moves into a newly built house in town, everybody else's taxes need to rise by about a hundred bucks a year to cover the increased schooling costs.
That's after the offset from adding their new house to the tax rolls.

This argument never makes any sense to me. Young family with children also consume more and add to the economy which means income to the state, more jobs, growth. Taxes goes up regardless. How do the account for those send their children to private schools and yet pay their taxes? Who is going to pay into Medicare and Social security, old retired folks?

Per the NH Dept of Education, the average expenditure per NH pupil is $18,216. The increase of $36,432 for 2 children passed on to taxpayers would be $50 if there were ~728 taxpaying households in the town.

The $18k per student sounds like the problem that needs to be solved.
