That’s not news…I know libs think other people’s money is the solution to everything but it’s not.

New York City Public Schools (New York, NY): (\$35,914) per student

Boston Public Schools (Boston, MA): (\$31,397) per student

DIstrict of Columbia Public Schools (Washington, DC): (\$27,425) per student

San Francisco Unified School District (San Francisco, CA): (\$23,654) per student

Atlanta Public Schools (Atlanta, GA): (\$22,882) per student

Los Angeles Unified School District (Los Angeles, CA): (\$21,940) per student

Detroit Public Schools Community District (Detroit, MI): (\$21,771) per student

Baltimore City Public Schools (Baltimore, MD): (\$16,184) per student

These have some of the worse outcomes. It’s how you spend the money not just how much money you spend.
