The employees have an option of living in a special area of TV. There are currently 2,110 students enrolled in the schools according to their website.

p.s. Off the top of his head, my husband thinks that amount of 2,110 children attending the school is about what our town of Bennington, population 16,000 people, have in all our schools from K to 12. Several elementary schools, one middle school (Jr. High) and one high school.
Our town divides the property tax into : School tax & Highway Tax which includes the snowplowing, maintenance of roads, etc.
Would a charter school get funding from the county ...or from state funds?
Up here, the majority of the property taxes, paid once a year in November, goes for our schools system.
