[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uh...check out the $$ spent per sq ft on all of those schools and see how Deal stacks up...where to get it, contact the 21st Century School Fund, they were there 20 years ago and they are there now fighting for equity.[/quote]

Data from 21 Century
Per pupil budgeting from lowest to highest:

Ward – Budget/pupil - School
6 – $5,870 - Stuart-Hobson
2 – $6,497 - Hardy
3 – $6,602 - Deal
6 – $6,756 - Jefferson
8 – $6,798 - Hart
6 – $6,833 - Eliot-Hine
7 – $6,977 - Kelly Miller
$7025	- AVERAGE
2 – $7,048 - Shaw-Garnett-Patterson
8 – $7,416 - Kramer
4 – $7,661 - MacFarland
7 – $7,828 - Ron Brown-Merritt
7 – $7,945 - Sousa
8 – $8,339 – Johnson

Thus, Deal gets less per pupil than other schools, and it should be like this - at-risk kids need services.

Square footage per pupil data shows Ward 3 students do not have more space.
Ward – Square feet per pupil
3 - 143ft
2 - 271 ft
6 - 273 ft
4 - 275 ft
7 - 284 ft
8 - 289 ft
1 - 309 ft
5 - 373 ft

Capital spending data for 2007-2009 shows Ward 3 falls in the middle.
Ward – Capital spending/pupil
4 – 9,931
7 – 12,921
1 – 15,151
8 – 15,970
3 – 18,364
6 – 18,787
5 – 29,267
2 – 35,938

Ward 5 received more school construction funds -- $152 million -- than any other ward in 2008 and 2009.  Ward 8 was second at $117 million.  See this link:

I am willing to entertain the idea that Deal got/gets more resources than other middle schools, but I have yet to see data, or a cogent argument that proves it.
