[i]“ According to an independent review by the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC), Virginia school divisions receive less K-12 funding per student than the 50-state average, the regional average, and three of Virginia’s five bordering states. School divisions in other states receive 14% more per student than school divisions in Virginia, on average. This equates to about $1,900 less per student for Virginia. [b]The JLARC estimates that annually, APS is underfunded by approximately $51 million[/b].”[/i]

Huh? I just compared APS to our neighboring districts. Some are even better performing. Some even higher COL.

DC area school districts are mid.

Including APS. Still, compared to our neighboring districts, APS isn’t skimping on spending. So try again.[/quote]

If you look outside of the swampy hellhole of the DC area, you’ll find areas of the country with excellent schools. They are well funded because their community values education.

Where? Specific examples please.[/quote]

I bet they’re all affluent areas with little to no diversity — racial or socioeconomic.

Super easy to have excellent schools with a privileged, homogenous population. (Hint: it’s not about the money spent per student.)[/quote]

Ok. Thanks for proving my point.

Schools that have many kids with higher needs (EL, economically disadvantaged, SN) require even more funding.

WTF? You’re gross.

School is not a substitute for parents [/quote]
