So, yes, I imagine the $35K cost per pupil is pocket change. (Interestingly, though, the DOE lists Avalon's DFG as FG.) You might want to take a look at Bruce Baker's blog, schoolfinance101.wordpress.com. He's done a lot of work on NJ's school funding compared to other states.NJ Left Behindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16739701636089453850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618709929318397424.post-40075426524177503282011-02-08T16:30:26.211-05:002011-02-08T16:30:26.211-05:00hi Laura... hope this finds
you well.
Thank y...hi Laura... hope this finds <br /> you well. <br /><br />Thank you for your quick responce.<br /><br />So... although Avalon has the highest per pupil cost in the state... around 35,000 dollars per student.... only 98,000 dollars out of a 3.2 million dollar budget comes from the state. <br /><br /> I am guessing that the community of Avalon is willing to pay for their students public school education. Interesting what our wealthier communities are willing to pay for...<br /><br />So... although the per pupil cost number sounds really high... very little of that cost is a burden to anyone in the state.<br /><br />These kind of situations exist all around our state. <br /><br />Wondering if you have come across any data on what percentage of the cost of public school in NJ comes from the state and where NJ stands national on the percentage of money it kicks in to fund public schools in comparison to other states??<br /><br />My guess is it is low?<br /><br />Once again... a great blog...thanks for all the work you do in maintaining it....<br /><br />mikemichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04763718568425131817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618709929318397424.post-60450715308136108032011-02-08T15:45:49.065-05:002011-02-08T15:45:49.065-05:00Hi, Mike.
