CCSD receives > $10,000 per "normal" student per year, including debt service and PERS. I think NPRI calculates ~$12K.
That private school is on the high end. Volunteering/fundraising is also required! I don't know about $/punch but I'm sure if CCSD spent that much its incidence of violence wounldn't *diminish* -- not even if all the additional money went toward hiring extra security. That private school simply attracts a higher class of kid.
Parents who use CCSD should be the ones volunteering. For all the good that would do. I know a bright lady, a former full-time K-12 teacher, who volunteers regularly at her boy's school. Let me be clear. This lady spends a LOT of time in her son's classroom.
During recent parent teacher conference the teacher suggested that the boy get tested for a learning disability. He doesn't read in reading group. THE BOY CAN READ TWO YEARS ABOVE GRADE LEVEL. The lady is so disgusted she has asked my wife about homeschool options!
