[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain why Van Ness is getting the most funding per pupil for all DCPS elementary schools? Or why Leckie is getting the least? http://dcpsbudget.ourdcschools.org/[/quote] Van Ness has high per pupil funding because it's a small school and the fixed cost of the principal, for example, is spread among a smaller number of students. The school is growing a grade level each year and will like fall in per pupil funding. Similarly, Leckie is large. If you look at total budget as opposed to general education funds, you'll find the larger/wealthier schools are all at the bottom in per pupil funding. This is partly due to size and partly due to a lack of the extra funds devoted to schools based on student needs (special education, at risk, English language learner, Federal funds).[/quote]
