No matter how you slice the pie chart, education spending in Washington is up. This runs contrary to claims made by sponsors of Initiative 884 (the billion-dollar education tax increase) that per-pupil spending has fallen behind inflation. In fact, per-pupil spending has increased at nearly double the rate of inflation since 1994.

In real dollars, per-pupil spending from the state’s general fund increased by 30.4% between 1994 and 2003, from $5,701.63 to $7,436.15. Adjusted for inflation, this is a 12.7% spending increase.
