To put this into focus...From the numbers I have found on my local school districts website and from the local paper...

Total cost for the district is around $16,500,000. They have that split down to about $11,000 per student. From there they split that number into “transportation and facilities” at 12.6% of the total, “food and community service” at 5.1% of the total, and “education cost” at 82.3% of the total. Isn't that great...over 82% goes to educating the child...but wait, let's check to see how much that is...it comes to around $9,100 per student. Now if I add up the salaries and benefits that are reported then...$8,300 dollars go to salaries and benefits. That means that all of the rest of the education items such as books, paper, hand outs, etc, is around $800 per student...wow, that doesn't seem like all that much when I started out at $11,000 per student.

Nice job! They can't argue numbers.
