[quote=Anonymous]Those may not be comparing apples to apples....the $19K number for Arlington is operational costs, and doesn't include the cost of debt service because that doesn't allow a "fair" comparison across districts (that is, a system that just rebuilt two schools would have higher debt service costs than a district that didn't, even if its operational costs were lower). I'm not going to follow those links to dig out whether those are the "all in" costs (total budget divided by number of students) or just the annual operating budget divided by number of students, but take any comparison among districts with a grain of salt.* *The local districts publish a book every year where they use the same denominators, it's called the Washington Area Boards of Education guide, and it does allow comparison between the major local systems including Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, MOCO, etc. [/quote]
