I love this kind of report, thanks for this! I’ve always thought that once we dug the info out from under the tricks used to hide it, we could show charters, or charters and vouchers, cost more. We need lots more reports like these from every corner of the country.
But.. can you give me a step-by-step super-simplified version of your calculation method? I mean a seriously “For Dummies” version? I can be very dense… It’s probably because I’m not familiar with previous or new funding formula, & don’t really know what “base aid” is all about [sorry!] How does the first step give you “a good idea of what the base aid amount each district is not receiving because these programs siphon off those kids”?
