In the Oregonian’s PolitFact column today is a discussion of Portland Public Schools’ claim of declining per student funding from the State School Fund. What’s interesting to me is their conclusion (here):
.... That gave us a considerably higher per-student spending figure: $7,699 in 2007-08; $7,415 in 2008-09; $7,440 in 2009-10; and $7,234 in 2010-11. In no year did the district get less than $6,000 per student, as the brochure suggests is now the case…….
…. Then, we added back in the stimulus dollars. That made a world of difference. With the stimulus, state funding actually dropped only 2
percent since 2007-08, from roughly $7,700 to $7,560 per "resident" student.
I’m not so interested in the fact that such revenues have decline as in the bottom line: PPS gets $7,234 in state funding this year.
Let’s look at the fees of the high school study abroad organization ASSE and see where PPS could have sent students for $7,234 this year (here):
For $4,200 plus airfare to Mexico.
For $5,190 plus airfare to French Canada.
For $5,550 to Argentina, Brazil or Thailand.
For $6,270 to South Africa.
For $6,720 to Japan or Korea.
For $6,900 to Hong Kong, Mongolia or Vietnam.
For $7,080 to Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Turkey, Ukraine, Lithuania, Sweden, Finland, Slovakia, Portugal, Holland, Romania, Norway, Italy, Poland, Estonia, or Serbia.
For $7,170 to Australia.
For $7,215 to China.
