That is less than the $1.2 million loss that was originally talked about, but still a big hole in the budget. It will be interesting to see how they try to close it. Pay close attention!

QUOTE(eric.hanke @ Jul 1 2009, 03:02 PM) Ask and thou shall receive! Thanks Eric. So the change over the last few years has been fairly minimal it seems ( approx change of 100 students the last 3 years) if I am reading this correctly. The difference between last year and the year before is a loss of 179, but had gained 280 the previous 2 years. (Not sure why the losses are listed as positives and the gains as negatives). Of course, by my computation, using the enrollment figures only there has been a loss of 1772 students overall the last 20 years. Now if the enrollment remained stagnant at 6927 for 2010, the state monies provided would be approx $6407.00 per student. The above is just me thinking out loud on this forum LOL.

Thanks again Eric Your welcome. I went ahead and updated the images to reflect the according loss/gain of studens. All this information and much, much, MORE is available at the Indiana Department of Education.

Here's the county-wide breakdown...
[url=http://www.indystar.com/data/government/school_funding_2009.shtml?appSession=239178667476739] hopefully the link works... Our $6407 per student is just under the state average of $6553, by the way. "If a man opens the car door for his wife, it's either a new car or a new wife." - Duke of Edinburgh.
