Is it? How do you know? Have you reviewed the budgets? Do you work in education in Baltimore, and thus, have a sense of what an appropriate number would be?

I don't know the answers, but I do know this -- it's a hell of a lot less than what gets spent in the NY metro area.

Here is the data.

According to the US Census[1], out of the largest 100 US Public School systems Baltimore ranked near the very top in spending per child (5th out of 100). Baltimore spent $15,793 per child. Only New York and Boston spent considerably more.

Thanks, that's much more informative.
