Money for Schools
- Share via
In your Jan. 9 editorial re a new school superintendent (whom I agree will be tough to find), you state that the LAUSD budgets $7 billion a year for an enrollment of 700,000 students. That comes to $10,000 per student a year. Do the arithmetic! This does not include the cost of the schools themselves. Why are we always told that the expenditure for each student in California is very low, between $5,000 and $6,000? Lots of money is being wasted somewhere.
