[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the per pupil allocation question, PP is correct that this is not true at the HS level. The fluctuation at the HS level has very little to do with FARMS rates, and everything to do with kids with special needs. Schools that host programs for kids with special needs have a higher PPA, which makes perfect sense because it's an average. Some kids are costing $50K a year to educate, if not more, and it is pulling the average up for the entire school.

Thanks for sharing this tiny line item that shows Einstein got $15k more than BCC. Problem solved.[/quote]

And no it's not $15k per pupil more. It's $15k total.

Everyone relax, economic and racial inequities in MCPS have been solved![/quote]

Who is claiming that racial and economic inequities are solved with this equity add-on?

And it looks like it is the same (small) amount for both schools per FARMS kid.[/quote]

Well folks seem really fixated on these tiny amounts and aren't even looking at the total per pupil amount for each school, or the other needs of the populations besides poverty (EML and special ed) so I am just not sure what folks are trying to prove to themselves by repeatedly sharing these documents.[/quote]

I thought originally it was that Taylor had said there was an adjustment for FARMS, etc, and someone asked what that was.  And it was this “equity add-on” thing.  [/quote
Yeah, you already said that the first time you shared these. Thank you for your help![/quote]
