[quote=Anonymous]It is untrue that Title I makes up the per pupil difference between North Arlington elementaries and Title I elementaries. If you look at all of the Title I schools, budgeted per pupil spending for 2019 is about $15,012 vs. $11,582 for the non-Title I North Arlington neighborhood elementaries, for a difference of about $3,501 per pupil. APS did the budgeting based on a projected 4,495 students in Title I schools this coming year, which means the per-pupil spending difference equates to about $15.7 million going to Title I schools as compared to North Arlington elementaries. For that same year, total Title I funds for APS are projected to be $2.3 million. Even if you add to that APS's projected Title II and Title III funds, as well as state and local funds for things like VPI and early reading programs, it only come to a total of about $5.1 million in extra funding for low-income students (ignoring that a small amount of that money does go to those North Arlington elementaries and to secondary schools). That means APS is sending over $10 million of its own general funding for next year to Title I elementary schools in extra funding beyond what North Arlington elementaries get per pupil.[/quote]
