School Funding at All-Time High

School Funding at All-Time High [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"New data from the state (available in this online database) show that despite constant calls from school officials and government employee union bosses for more funding, public schools in Michigan received more money in 2011 than ever before — about $13,405 per pupil.
Total school spending, however, did drop from its all-time high in 2010 — by less than 1 percent.
Schools spent $12,778 per pupil last year overall, with $11,561 of that spent on day-to-day operating expenses."
