[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ellington is slated to receive $6.2MM allocation for 527 students next year.[/quote] That's $11,764 of our DC taxpayer money allocated for each student at Ellington. So, $9,000 for out-of-townies seems like a really low tuition for them, a partial gift, even. I would argue that non-taxpayers should even pay more, as a contribution to the school.[/quote] That's just the operating budget. The capital budget -- take that $178 million and amortize it over the life of the improvements -- is about an equivalent amount. So VA and MD kids are paying about half of the direct costs of having them in our schools. If you add in administrative overhead it's probably a third.[/quote]
