My recollection is that there is a state mandated minimum contribution irrespective of percentage of students from each town (15%). In the 1970’s Lincoln represented 15-20% of the LS population. As recently as 5 years ago Lincoln represented less than 15% (perhaps 12%)? Someone closer to the facts can correct me.
