[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but when you compare APS to other areas of the country, it doesn’t stand out as being super low. Like — of course — NYC is going to spend more per student, but the COL is astronomically higher than Arlington.

I do think some rural counties of Virginia need more funding. But Arlington isn’t some outlier like you’re claiming it to be. (And JLARC didn’t claim that either.)[/quote]

I just said it’s underfunded. As are other districts in VA. [/quote]

And you’re wrong. So take a seat.[/quote]

I mean I'll go with JLARC over an anti public school rando who won't even put their name to their opinion. [/quote]

JLARC is an independent, bipartisan commission which [i]is looking for cost savings[/i]. And they said it’s underfunded.

They did not say *APS* is underfunded. There are many counties in Virginia with significantly less funding that they are talking about (even when adjusted for COL).[/quote]

JLARC, the independent, bipartisan commission which [i]is looking for cost savings[/i], found that APS was underfunded by both the state and the county.

Short-term recommendations were an additional $7M from the state and $29M from the county. Accounting for ALL of their recommendations, VA underfunded APS by $51M and the county underfunded by $206M.
