[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The equity add on is roughly in line across schools and is related to the number of FARMS kids.  But I don’t know how they did the allocation (it likely adjusts for things other than FARMS).[/quote]

I thought that at first, but I do not think that is accurate. First of all that amount is tiny to the point of being insulting if it is indeed the equity add on. Moreover, what is it being added to? The number they are adding it to is not the total funding for the school. You can't staff a high school on $300k.

This is not the total for the school.  See the other document.[/quote]the fact you are still trying to say high poverty schools get any significant funding based on their FARMS rates is actually insulting at this point. Please stop.[/quote]

What?  Look I’m trying to tell you what the columns mean since clearly you or someone else is not interpreting it correctly.  Read what is written versus assuming you are talking to a single person.[/quote]

Let's get back on track to the fact that high poverty high schools do not get a ton of extra money based on their poverty rates. This table is not helpful. It doesn't matter what the columns mean because the amounts are miniscule.[/quote]NP.  MCPS has stated on numerous occasions that spends $3000-$4000 more per student per year in high poverty schools vs wealthier schools.[/quote]

That’s not enough money to do much of anything. [/quote]

I mean per pupil it is. Too bad MCPS doesn't do this at the high school level or at most middle schools.[/quote]The lost I saw a couple years ago was a lost of high schools so they are doing it in high schools.[/quote]

What list? There are no Title 1 or focus high schools.[/quote]It was a list of expenditure per student per high school.[/quote]I found it.  It was an article on Moderately MoCo from 2023 (I think) that used state data.  It says what I said it says which is schools (yes, high schools) populated by poorer students get thousands of dollars more per student per year.  So can you end the charade (lie) that poor schools are underfunded compared with wealthier schools?[/quote]
