Allow me to answer your question Mary, and to provide
Jenifer an answer as to where I came by these figures.
These figures come from a district handout that was
provided to CBFAC members last year. I would assume
that Lois Rockney generated it. (I hope this table
survives HTML translation!)
2002-03 2002-03
Total Cost Per Pupil Revenue Expenditures
General
Regular Education $7,914 $7,263
Special Education $1,067 $1,694
ELL $320 $466
Transportation $526 $516
Capitol Expenditure $249 $242
Total General $10,076 $10,181
Food Services $383 $383
Community Services $583 $545
Building Construction $593 $593
Debt Service $604 $606
Total Per Pupil $12,239 $12,308
The previous year (01-02) the district spent $11,984
against revenues of $12,034.
The document also says "This information is based on
pupil counts of 45,859 for fiscal year 2001-02, 44,688
for fiscal year 2002-03 and 43,843 for fiscal year
2003-04." So the district has been well aware of it's
declining enrollment.
In public discussions, the district usually talks
about specific segments of its incomes, ie: as if
state funding happens in a vacuum. In fact the
district recieves funding streams from several sources
as we see here.
