[quote=Anonymous]Capital budget and operating budget should be separated as much as possible, and I would be very surprised if the operating budget per student at schools varied much across the county, with the exception of schools (e.g., Title 1) receiving additional federal funding. PTA funds cannot be used for “core” (there’s a term for it; I just cannot remember) resources like teachers or an addition, but yes, you might get a nice scoreboard for the football field or landscaping. Arguing about budgets misses the bigger point, which is the massive difference in wealth across the county. Even if you think it’s the county’s job, the county will never be able to offset the amounts that wealthier families are willing to, and do, spend to support their kids’ education and activities.[/quote]
