> It guts schools because there aren't enough kids to fill classrooms.

That one doesn’t sound bad at all. Every other school district complains about the reviser, too many kids and not enough teachers / tax dollars.

Not sure about Canada, but I know in many places in America, schools are budgeted on a per student basis, so losing kids (who still are going to school, just somewhere else) strains the school they are leaving with less money and then strains the schools where they are migrating to as the infrastructure now has to support more kids without having time to ramp up.

So I think the problem kind of goes both ways.

In America, schools are also funded by property tax, though.

Not universally. In California, for instance, by law half of the state budget must go to education regardless of source.

California is unique because of Proposition 13, though.
