IMHO: I think it's also a common type of thinking with politicians & taxes - they actually BELIEVE it's THEIR money! The superintendent is upset that the parents have the audacity to want their children to go somewhere else besides their underperforming, probably get shanked in the hall before noon, where administrators salaries go up while the test scores go down, holding pens for many future felons. My parents worked 2 jobs to put 7 of us through Catholic schools. When I lost a very good job and had to get another less paying job, we chose to give up the house payment and move in with family to afford to keep our kids in Catholic school. Most kids by and large, in most public schools (not all), don't really excel - there's no incentive to - everyone gets a diploma - even if they can't read their name on it.
