    Total public school funding for who? This sounds like an average.

    Wouldn’t a district in a poor area be more reliant on federal $?

    One of my elementary classes growing up was taught out of a trailer because the school couldn’t afford repairs. I grew up in an extremely poor area.

    Edit - wikipedia says in 2010, “The median income for a household in the county was $83,456 and for a family was $97,557. Males had a median income of $63,187 versus $48,750 for females. The per capita income for the county was $38,660. About 3.3% of families and 5.3% of the population were below the poverty line, including 6.9% of those under age 18 and 5.5% of those age 65 or over.[50]”

    They’re probably fine monetarily honestly but who knows.
