I certainly don't have total and instant recall but I know there are a number of mandates that public schools are required to do that are UNDER funded.  The largest of these is Special Ed.  The mandates and latitudes are reaching cost prohibitiveness. 
 
One could look at Charter School legislation and note the areas that are indicated as not being mandates for a Charter School that are required for public schools.
 
Our bus company's could probably list a number of things required of bus equipment specifications etc that are mandated and are either district expense or bus company expense and thus become part of the charges they are required to pass on in their bid process.
 
The person's to ask for specifics would be our finance people at the school district. Because of the budget process, they have to build into the budget money to cover the difference between the program and the funding.  Of course our Supt and our Principals may have a feel for these things too because of needing to administer the budget.
 
Hope this helps for suggestions as to whom to talk to.
