Children do not deserve a public education – they DO deserve a publicly funded education. The money should follow the child, directed by parents and a building in a given zip code should not treat it as an entitlement
Well, after my TANSTAAFL post from the BudComm, I’ll just leave this here:
Total School District Budget: $26,237,939
Total enrollment: 1,140
Cost per student per year: $23,015
My, doesn’t sending them all to private schools sound like a bargain? And that’s not adding in the State Education portion of our property tax bill…
So, what is YOUR school district costing YOU!
UPDATE: It is worse – next year’s estimate enrollment is 1,126 for an updated cost of $23,301.90 per student per year.
