As to the second part of the question, you are questioning why you should be taxed for a specific purpose (education) when you cannot claim residency and therefore could never register children to use the Laconia schools.
Although the tax is listed on a specific line, like all taxes, it is not a fee (tax) for service system. Whether you do not or can not use a particular municipal service doesn't exclude your responsibility to pay for taxes that the municipality requires.
I admit I am hard pressed to think of other examples of municipality spending that a taxpayer could never use but there are certainly tons of federal spending that is targeted to specific uses that I could never access. Yet I still owe my income taxes to support it.
