Federal Education Tax: This is the amount that the local taxpayers in Mars have to make up for this year to fund Title 1 and IDEA (Individuals with Disabilties Education Act) students for special education. Congress continues to vote to authorize funding, but, only appropriates 12-15% to states. Why do we allow our elected congresspeople to vote for something they authorize, but, truly do not appropriately fund?
